Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Muzzleloader for out to 300 yards

300 yds is a real stretch. The truth is, that bullet is going so slow that if a deer is looking at you and sees all the powder , it will jump and you will wound it . At that range it isnt much different than a deer looking at you at 50 yds with a bow. Teddy Rosevelt went out west when the 30-30 was quite new. He said it was the best deer round there was , but even he missed when the antelope was looking at him cause they would see the smoke puff out of the barrel and jump fast enough for him to miss.
