Would a .45 smooth rifle be useful at all with shot? I'd mostly be using round ball but am curious if it could be used for small game?

Ever hear of a .410 shotgun? A .45 smooth rifle and the many load variations it allows make it even more useful.Would a .45 smooth rifle be useful at all with shot? I'd mostly be using round ball but am curious if it could be used for small game?

Sure am. It's taken plenty with 5/8-3/4 Oz loads.As many as you'd like to share! Super cool! Are you pleased with your .45 smoothy?
My ‘smallest’ smoothbore muzzleloader is a 56 caliber. At 25 yards and the correct load it will put down any small game. Killed plenty of game with a 410 as kid. Squirrels, rabbits, pheasants. If I had a 45 muzzleloader smoothbore I would have complete confidence in it for small game.Amazing!! My uses would be for squirrels, rabbits, mainly.
Amazing!! My uses would be for squirrels, rabbits, mainly. I've also heard with round ball they can make tight groups out to 50 yards or so, plenty for whitetails in the Eastern American forests.
I'm wanting to find or have made a Schimmel or barn gun/poor boy smoothy. Would be super versatile not to mention bloody cool!
Sorry I can't for legal reasonsLOVE it! Thanks, Brit Smoothy!!
Can anyone comment on potential accuracy with round balls?
I can envision britsmoothy loading a round ball, while “ breaking the law” by Iron Maiden plays in the background........
