I think you would be better off most of the time with the heavier bullet. I know you better be looking at 100 yard shots maximum instead of the 200 yard stuff. Even the very best muzzle loader shooters shouldn't be looking at 200 yard hunting shots. I can't wait to get chewed on for that opinion, but that's what I think. My Encore shoots within two inches at 100 yards, so that doubles to four at 200 yards I guess, but the bullet drop at that range and other things like wind drift must be considered. Good luck. Jim
