im going to be shooting roundballs this ywar out of my 50cal tc hawken flintlock...with homeade patches cut the old fashioned way out of pillow ticking and homemade moosemilk for lube....but im about out of balls...and will need more....i was just wondering if anyone has any reason to believe roundballs arent created equal?? and if so...what maker makes the best?? i shot a box of hornadys now....only thing i killed though were 2 groundhogs with them....so what do you guys say who makes THE best roundball?? or all they all created pretty much equal??.....also...shooting a 50cal with say...90grs of 3fg goex....what kind of performance on deer can i expect from 5-75 yards?? or should i limit my shots to 50?? im confident to 75+ with it...well was...gota go shoot the new patches and balls and powder...but i used to beable to whack a coffee can at 75yds no problem...so that would be no problem putting one in a deer that far..but will a ball have the power and effectiveness to put a deer down?? i have no expirience with a round ball except 2 groundhogs...which were pretty much clean holes in and out...so i was just wondering what to expect hitting a deer...and how far youd limit its effectivness saying that you can hit the deer cleanly...i wouldnt shot farther then comfortable...and know a roundball drops pretty good.....but if im comfortable what would the max be for a good clean easy kill?? thanx guys
