Default tight area

I have one spot that is 5yrd to 50yrd shooting line no more than that. planning on a 2 week break I have to get one of my sidelocks going.

in that short range, would an 50cal round ball load be enough?

No question. At that range a .50 caliber roundball is more then enough. Put that through the boiler room,and you will have a dead deer. I have a friend that has shot deer with a .50 caliber out to 100 yards more then once and never had a problem killing them.
