I remember several years ago I had a Remington 700 ML and the only thing I could get it to shoot with any consistency was patched round balls and it shot them good, it is just a shame to have a scoped, inline muzzle loader and have to shoot PRB in it but I did and killed a bunch of deer with it.

I killed a few out to 150 to 175 yards, I believe I was shooting 90 grains of FFF Goex in it. I had a .50 cal. T/C Hawken that I used for years before I ever had a inline, I used 60 grains of FFF Goex in it with a PRB and I would be afraid to guess how many deer that combination took the lives of, several well past 100 yards.

You know it,probably my 2nd favorite besides turkey is hunting with a flintlock,a true smoke pole.
Season starts here Saturday and may even take that instead of the inline easy "rifle".58 cal patch/ roundball kills them.Our flintlock season season starts the day after christmas and look forward to it every year,and thats all ya can use unless it is a bow.
