Default 200 yds with Barns 245's

Hey
Just had to let everyone know.
Today my brother and I were out shooting,our Muzzleloaders.
I was shooting my Knight Disc 50. with the 245 grain boat tails.and 3 -50 grain Pyrodex pellets.
I sighted my rifle 3"high at 100 yds.
Then I went to my 200yd Target.
Man 600 feet sure is a long long way from my shooting table and sand bags.
The first shot I set the cross hairs at the top of the card board,about 3" above the black taregt with white back ground.
I could see the black 12"target real good with the white back ground.
The first shot was right above the target,great.
Second shot I set the cross hairs dead center on the target.
I hit the target 3"low of the bull at 200yds.GREAT GREAT.


I fell in love with the Barns 245's boat tails.
Now what's the foot pounds of the Barns 245's at 200 yds anyone know?
I shot into a 5 gal.bucket filled with packed dirt. The Bullet didn't come out the other side at 200yds .But I'm going to try to find the bullet.
I'm going fishing at the lake from the bank,and once all the rods are out,I 'm going to wash the dirt away,like panning for gold to find the bullet .
