I just puchased a .62 caliber smoothbore flintlock pistol to carry as a back-up/finishing shot during regular flintlock season here in Pennsylvania. I'm shooting 40 grains of FFFG in the barrel with a .610 dia. roundball on an .018 thick patch. The pistol shoots surprisingly well at 30 yds. considering it's a smoothbore. My question is...is this a sufficiant load for humanely taking deer at 30 yards or closer??
