Ok guy's, I'm a Inline guy but recently got back that I purchased for My Father in Law years ago a Tennessee Mountain Rifle. I shot My first MLer Buck with it back in the Mid 80's. I only used it for a couple of Seasons then bough my first inline and today I mostly only use My 1st Generation CVA ACCURA. Anyway's back when I used it I used patch and round ball which was all I could use during our Late MLer Season, with 90gr's of FFFG GOEX, it really liked the FFFG.

I took all the Browning off the Barrel as it was in need of New Browning because of many years of wear and some surface rust had started.,But instead of the Brown Barrel I decided to go Blue, so I re-blued the barrel,. all the parts and re did the stock.got a new Breech Plug and Barrel and Nipple. I also saw on You-Tube the "Mag Spark" System where you can do away with the No11 Cap and replace it with a 209 Primer. I haven't tried it yet but if any of you have I'd appreciate some feedback on it. I may or may not use it, I only got it because back in the day when I hunted in the Rain and Heavy Wet Snow I did have a few Mis Fires and figured maybe the 209 would stop that from happening.. I also did not really like the "Patch Hole" or Grease Hole" on the stock so I cut the Crown off the Antler of the first Buck I got with it and put it in that hole, some may like it and some may not.

Here's My question, as I stated I mostly use My ACCURA and I can shoot out to 175yds with no problem when Hunting, and back when I used the Tennessee Mountain Rifle I only had a few shots on Deer the furthest being 77yds. What kind of Distance can I get out of this MLer where with Practice to where I can Harvest a Deer and know it's not too far? I don't need to shoot out to 200yds or anything but can I expect to shoot to 125 or so and have it not be considered a long shot for Cap and Ball with 90grs of FFFG?

Now I may never need to shoot that far as most of my shots taken at Deer range from 20-100yds, with 50 being the norm. is this Old Girl worthy of long shots or is she just a 75yd shooter and I should keep my shots at that or under? And I am a good shot so I'm looking for advice on the Mler mostly, and I know she's only as good as the shooter but how good can she be in the right hands.
