need boolit length info for 50

[nekshot]

does any one have the calculator for length of slug? I have a 50 cal muzzle loader rifling barrel with 1 in 48 twist in a 50-90 cartridge and would like to know the optimum slug length.
thanks for info

I found a old thread that says 7/8 inch is good start so I will keep lengthening this 320 Lee real boolit mold.

This guy has a couple of calculators that you can back into the length with.

Berger uses the same calculators but they look a little different
