[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 214033, member: 10"] I have witnessed blackpowder rifles do amazing things at long range but this is for a very specific reason, the bullets they use perform very well at long range and generally, they are relatively short and stubby with flat base designs. Also, very rarely are they fired at velocities much over super sonic velocity. Short fat bullets have been proven to hold accuracy and consistancy much better through the trans sonic phase much better then long, sharp ogive, boattail match bullets. A VLD type bullet that is fired just under super sonic velocity is extremely efficent and accurate over very long ranges but I have yet to see a test where these bullets accuracy drop out of super sonic velocity and remain accurate for 1000 yards past this point in velocity.
