.50 Cal Buffalo Ball ET for..
Elk in front of 80 grs of RS Pyrodex out of my CVA Bobcat? I am getting 2" groups at 50 yds from a kneeling position and the bullet is falling about 3" at 65 yds when sighted in at 50. Would this be a good combo for elk to no more than 65 yds or so. I am planning to apply for a cow muzzleloader tag again next year, and I have a bonus point so I should draw with no problem. Has anybody used this on elk or deer before? How well did it work? I have been shooting this gun since the summer of 2001 when I bought it and have put about 200 different combinations of bullets and powder weights through it and this is the best combo that I have found. I will be chronographing the load in the near future to see how it does. For some reason my gun likes 80 grs. of powder and nothing else. I can put either the round ball or the Buffalo ball on top of this much powder and hit the same spot every time. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!
