Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Will a .490 patched round ball and 70 grains of Goex FFG get it done?

Yes.

My load for both rifles is 60 gr. fffg Goex.






I used to believe what I read about needing 100 grains of powder for hunting loads. But experience has proven that to be false. In my experience, 60 grain loads give total penetration and large exits on deer size game.
