I assumed, yes there is that word again, you did not shoot a deer at 200 yards and have a failure. The load I used was with Pyrodex P, you will have to research it yourself but Pyrodex P can be used in a .50 muzzle loader. I used a 250 grain ShockWave bullet and one shot took out an elk at 200 yards. He was quartering to and the bullet went in right behind the extended front left leg, took out the heart and lungs, went through liver and stomach, some intestines and stopped under the hide in front of the rear right leg.
