Default RE: Lets be honest with powder charges.

my grandfather killed a bull moose 914lbs w/ an 80 gr. charge and a round ball n patch out of a lyman great plains rifle and the moose had no idea if it was 60 gr.s or 150. it went down. moose are pretty easy to kill really. as far as range and trajectory, i hunt northern maine where 100 yds is a long shot. up here you'd never need more then a 100. i could see if you were needing the velocity to reach out and touch somethin out west but not here

i should have said, " i see no need" instead sorry for the confusion
