Nice! You should set up a test like Ron does, just to see how that big ol round ball shakes out.

I had a chance one time to get a Big Boar at a very fair price...should have done it. One of the few deals I wish I had a chance to "do over". At least I have my .54 renegade.

Can you imagine owning a 58-cal inline with a twist between 1:60 and 1:70?..... shooting patched roundballs and Blackhorn?

to heck with a water jug test, I shot a doe last year in the chest and the ball only lot a few grains of weight and expanded greatly, but not even close to coming apart. We found the ball in her rear leg after it cracked the leg bone.

Oh there is no doubt, I just thought it would be cool to see how an old school big ol round ball stacked up to all these hi-tech bullets.

Yep, I let myself get sucked into an argument that was getting circular and let the individual get under me skin a bit. It happens to the best of us! Thanks for the welcome back though!

LOL yeah you got to watch those. Some folks just post on here for a response and nothing more. Muley and I were talking about this topic the other day.

As a matter of fact, there aren't enough of you guys posting on this subject. It's in the Northeast section so it's not getting the traffic that the actual subject deserves. If you guys wouldn't mind, pop in, read all the pages (10 or 11) of the back and forth arguments and post YOUR feelings on the subject matter. BUT, don't get suckered into name calling and such like my fool rear did. A couple of the people posting on that one will do their very best to irk you. Here's the link and enjoy the laughs. There are several :) http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/nort...nt-ban-pa.html
