My concern is.. are we perhaps going "too light" or "too small" in some of these experiments. I mean the actual appeal to me of the muzzleloader when I first started was, it shot a pure lead projectile that was already .530 in diameter. Any expansion what so ever made that thing basically a large hole through major organs. The animal had to die from that wound.

Now it seems the new trend is .40 caliber, and even smaller. I just am not ready to go that small with a muzzleloader unless I can really push that thing to some center fire rifle speeds.
