Default RE: Inputs for comparison wanted.

Man...You have way too much time on your hands...

If you didn't have so many posts on here I would wonder what the heck, is this guy trying to show this or that gun won't kill a deer....

I have two different BP loads that I use for deer...My Knight Disc with a 22 inch barrel likes 90 grains of either Pyrodex R-S or Goex FFF and a 250 SST...I don't know the velocity but I do know that sighted in 2 1/2 inches high at 100 it hits 2 1/2 to 3 inches low at 150...I shot a buck a couple of years ago at 143 yards with a 250 SST...Hit through the shoulder blade, he dropped...Have no idea of the velocity or fpe...

The other is my .54 flintlock, I have used for about 20 years, 38 inch barrel, using a .530 home cast ball and 80 grains Goex FFF...Sighted in 2 inches high at 50 I'm about an inch low at 100 and about 4 inches low at 125 yards...Longest shot was 8-10 years ago (or so)...Decent 6 pointer, about 115 yards away, another high shoulder shot, fell right there....I bet if you run the ballistics on that load, it doesn't have enough energy to kill a deer...
