Thanks to all for your replys. You all answered my question. I know I will have to do some expermentation but I got some good starting points. I hunt using traditional archery equipment and know all bout hitting the kill zone. If you take a low percentage shot chanches are you will wound and not recover your prize. From years of hunting with a bow and a center fire rifle I have set strict shooting standards on myself. By doing this and taking only high percentage shots I have taken several Michigan deer. I am a rookie when it comes to muzzel loading and when I hear of a problem (real or made up) I do'nt hesitate in posting to find out from you the experts. Please bear with me through my learning curve. Thanks again to all.
