Well, Patched Round Balls can actually kill afterall #12277818 09/18/17 Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,251 Colorado B bigblock455 OP Campfire Tracker OP bigblock455 Campfire Tracker B Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,251 Colorado Took both with my Traditions St.Louis Hawken .50cal with 70gr 3fg Goex, .020" patch and home cast .490" round ball. Both are one shot kills. The doe dropped on the spot, the bull went MAYBE 30 yards after a double lung hit. Kinda makes you feel foolish for paying up the ass for "premium" bullets. https://bs-bp.forumotion.com/

I've been shooting a 54 cal patched round ball for years with same, excellent, results. I don't cast anything anymore but have an ample supply left. I use a .530" round ball with a .015" patch, T/C Wonder wad and 100 grains of Goex 2F in an old CVA Hawken kit gun made back in the late 70's. Shot patches are perfect, just rifling marks, no tears or rips. Thing looks like an old canoe paddle, but does it shoot! Best to all in the ongoing and upcoming seasons, Dean.
