Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.
I was wondering what the effective range is for the average 50 cal. percussion rifle. I'm going to be using it to hunt whitetail deer and I want to make sure that my setups put the deer within range. I will be using patched round balls. Tony
From a 50 yard zero with 80gr FFg, I shoot about 6 1/2 in. low at 100. I shot a deer at 125 yards paced off a number of years ago and dropped it like a ton of bricks, solid heart shot and lots of luck. Hope this helps. Take care, Rick.
