I am surprised, very surprised, to see this. The last time I saw you comment on the round ball you wrote that there was a need to get "close enough and to put it in the right spot". I took that to mean that one must get closer and be more particular about the placement of the shot than one must be with a full bore conical or saboted bullet. I know that you meant that and that you wouldnever condone pinging a whitetail at 100 yards with .50 cal roundball possessing 450 ft-lbs energy.

I know you would never suggest that a round ball was just as good as any otherprojectile in regards to the energy it gets out of charge, how it retains energy down range,its secitional density,or its ability to pentrate game. We both know thatthe roundballneeds special consideration because of what it lacks in these departments. Wouldn't you agree?

I honestly apologizeas my statements about the roundball have offended you and some others. They were not directed youor anyone who uses the roundball but at the roundball itself.

Happy Hunting, Phil
