I completely disagree with your opinion of effectiveness of rounballs for hunting, but cayugad has already posted an excellent rebuttal so i won't rehash it. My point was not to turn this into a roundball vs all else argument, but to correct a glaring falsehood in your original post. Let me refresh your memory:

We have two choices in Muzzeloading as I see it.
1. Heavy, powerful, looping full bore conicals
2. Lighter, smaller thanbore, flatter shooting saboted projectiles.
Now, as far as I, and many others,are concerned, using traditional rifles, propellants and projectiles is still classified as muzzleloading and whether you you use roundballs, or not, it is still a choice for some.
