Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Is the .45 caliber (.440) round ball adequate for deer?

I shot one once with a 54 round ball that did not do much bleeding for the first 100 yards, then lots of blood. I did use a 45 some but used the maxi ball and it will kill deer dead. I switched to the maxi ball on the 54 and killed several deer with it before I got an inline and they all bled good. miles
