get some experience with patched balls and elk.
80gr pyrodex rs and a 223 grain round ball from a 54cal dropped my last elk from 148 yards with a single shot through both lungs.
FPE IMO matters when you are shooting modern bullets that need to expand in order to cause damage.
Whos willing to stand in front of a 58cal at 200 yards and take a hit just to show that a 9/16" diameter ball won't kill?
