Default RE: Biggest Game for .54 Ball ?

A lot of people just don't understand that a lot of the time a round ball is going to do the best job of puting game on the ground; with the Hawken I built for the Hawken and mountain man matchs at freindship I have taken many deer some elk and 2 bear,I shot over 150yds hit the bigest bear on the back edge of the front shoulder and recovered the ball all flatened out from the hide on the far side after it went through the off shoulder missing the bone by about 5 inches the bear field dressed over 600lbs. I was using 130gr RS[ I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOAD FOR ANYONE ELSE] and a 535 PRB with a heavy ticking patch and a 35.5inch barrel. Lee
