I drew for a plains buck mule deer tag out where there are some large mulies. It is a late rifle tag but I am going to try to get one with my Muzzleloader. I need to be good at longer ranges like a 100yds or so. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting good at longer ranges like that? I am shooting a traditional muzzleloader with open sights.

I have a couple of options for guns and loads. I can use my 54cal Renegade which shoots a .530 roundball with 100gr black powder accurately or a 425gr Hornady Great Plains with 100gr black powder accurate.

My other option which im leaning towards is my 58cal Renegade. It shoots the load in my signature fairly accurate and I also have some 525gr Hornady Great plains bullets for it that shoot great with 100gr powder. I do have some 615gr maxi-balls but I doubt I would use them (however im not ruling them out yet).

I have to plan for some possible wind out there. It can get pretty windy out there. How would that roundball do at 100yds in the wind? Would that Great Plains be any better in the wind at long distances?

So what do you all suggest? Obviously im going to have to do some shooting and see what accurate and what is not. I think I would rather use my 58cal. Anyone think one load would be better than the other minded its accurate? Anything else I should try?

Thanks
