Ive owned a few muzzleloaders over the years and I find myself only owning a flintlock at the moment. Ive got it sighted dead at 75 yards with patched round balls. Now, Ive shot deer with round balls and have never had a problem, but theyve always been .54's and distances of less that 100 yrds. My question is/are...
How effective is a patched .50 round ball at 100 yards and in? (Im shooting 80g of Goex FFF and would like to be as "traditional" as possible without negatively effecting my hunt).
Should I switch to a buffalo bullet to get more distance? (I feel confident shooting out to 150).
