While there are some outstanding shooters in this world at long range stuff (myself not being one of them), 300 yards to me is just wrong. I am not saying the bullet can not do it, I am not saying there is no killing power left in it at that distance, but what I am saying is even under ideal conditions... 300 yards is too far. And there are people reaching out that far with these rifles. Just not me.

At that distance according to the chart your playing with over four plus feet of drop and the bullet energy is just about as low as the so called experts claim is border line lethal. Like I said, I think if you placed it, it would kill something. But the question is, can you place it?

Modern Muzzle-loaders are really something. Between new designs, optics, powders and bullet designs we have stretched a relatively moderate range weapon into something to be taken notice of. But for the sake of what we hunt, and the sport itself, try to close that distance with stalking your prey. Be real sure of your rest. And know your rifle and load under field conditions. Practice under field conditions and see just how far you can actually shoot.

Good luck with your rifle.
