Default RE: PRB ballistics?

No appology needed. I just figured that the other guy knew that you'd have to get into closer range with the round ball to get the most effective shot. I feel comfortable with my load and a max range of 100 yards, no more. Im extremely confident with shots under 70 yards. Where i hunt i need atleast 100 yards. Its hard working into range when its just short sage brush and some juniper trees spread out. But i believe if you work up a great load and can shoot it well off hand or resting off a tree limb, rock or whatever is available in a hunt, I think the roundball will do the job cleanly. I got a nice 4x4 mule deer this september with my flintlock. Nothing beats taking meat witha flinter! lol.. Thats one of the best hunts ive had.
