Default drop at 200yds

Shooting a TC prohunter with 2 white hots and a 250gn shockwave. If dead on at 100 what kind of drop at 200. My crony said it's 1900fps.

Forgive me but my understanding of B/P rifles is that the bullet would non-effective at 200 yds. I have been told that you could caught it in your hand at that range.

I would not try that trick!!! I have dropped deer in there tracks at 180+.... with a 250 gr. hornady and 110 gr. BH209

According to my charts, With a muzzle velocity of 2000 fps. at 200 yds. the bullet should still have 1065 ft. lbs of energy... and 750ft. lbs. at 300yds... plenty to kill a whitetail...

dont tell the dead deer that , especially the the one that was shot at 223 yards had a complete pass through and killed the second deer standing behind it. And especially don't tell the buck that I killed at 234 yards. Although i have to admit he ran 40 yards before he realized he was dead
