Gentlemen:
This fall I plan to hunt deer for the first time with a flintlock 50 caliber rifle under a 100 grains of 2F powder fires a 240 buffalo ball-et at 1600 fps. My shooting skills are above average and the gun shoots clover leaf groups with this combination at 50 yards
At 100 yards the bullet will be traveling @ 1,027 fps & 493 ft. lbs. of energy.
Am I asking too much of the gun for a 100 yard shot?
