Round ball. I don't remember an exit, but I was only 16 and it was 1988 or so. We didn't worry about such things back then. Meat on the ground was all I cared about.
Gotcha. Thanks. I have a .54 cal Lyman flint lock is why I asked.
No worries. Mine is a CVA Hawken I think. I haven't drug it out of the safe in years. It was about a 90 yard shot, with Pyrodex and a patched round ball. I don't remember much else. Other than it being my first elk and how much work it was for a 16 year old to quarter and carry it back to the truck.
