I have never doubted the ability of the patched roundball. With a good powder charge behind it, there is very little it could not take down. As with all projectiles, shot placement is critical.

Exactly. The PRB is underestimated by many. Even me at one point. It looks like it has horrible ballistics, but it performs much better than expected. It doesn't seem to need a lot of fps to penetrate, and it has perfect expansion and weight retention. It's no wonder it lasted for so many years.

This will be my first year using a muzzleloader with patched round ball for deer, i actually just got interested in it about 9 months ago, But with all the advice from you muley on the MLF forum i have got my .54 gpr shooting like you said your renegade will " it will knock the eye out of a knat at 75 yrd" lol. I do have to admit that i was very surprised at the accuracy the PRB is capable of. I believe that with my load of 90 grains of 2fg i should have no problem at killing even elk at reasonable range.

I had to do a little tracking on the doe I shot last year with a PRB in my .58. She ran a full six feet.
