"Austin & Halleck 420 .50 caliber
It has been some five consecutive Austin & Halleck 420s that have broken the 1 MOA barrier for me, day in and day out. The beefy, one inch, half octagonal barrel apparently functions as a second recoil lug. As soft-shooting as it is with a very good Bold trigger, it is difficult to shoot poorly. 100 grains of Triple Seven FFg and a 348 or 405 grain Powerbelt bullet gets it sub MOA, and a 375 grain Buffalo SSB or 340 grain Dead Center shrinks it below that." -Chuck Hawks

For hunting, find one load (perhaps 60 gr) and learn how it shoots at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 yards.

If you stay on the range, you can actually shoot with only 30 grains FF too.  It doesn't take that much powder to launch a round ball down range.

I'd also get a metal range rod.  Wood ones can break and if they break while you're loading, you can get impaled.
