[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3265193, member: 15054"] 200 yards from a muzzleloader is not a huge leap. If you have the right load that is accurate it will put the kill on a deer just fine. 80gr pyrodex with 295 gr bullet will get it done if you stick it in the right spot. I have a friend that shoots 50gr pyrodex with 295gr bullet to 100 and deer do not get back up. CVA Kodiak of my sons was dead nuts on at 200 with the above 295gr and 80gr of 777. I have killed a few with the 80gr pyrodex load. 75 yards is the farthest and it almost removed the head of the deer. Just a dollar bill size piece of hide keeping the head attached to the body, all meat and bone was blown out. That is a 295gr power belt hollow point from cva bobcat rifle I paid $58 for at walmart many years ago. I feel longer distance may have saved some neck meat. Be careful where you point those. One shot kills 200-300 yards with 30-30 handloads moving 2200fps from muzzle for 150gr. Put the bullet in the right place.. the muzzloader will trump that in energy Edit: I had my Zero on my 30-30 at 250 yards and it was 8" high at 100 Lot of pipeline and clear cut hunting [/QUOTE]
