[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2547896, member: 117774"] Muzzleloaders are quite powerful these days, especially those that accept 150 grains of black powder. I took a doe with one many years ago at about 35 yds with a very reduced load standing broadside. the slug struck just behind the shoulder and provided about an 8" circle of destruction from start to finish. My cousin that witnessed the shot said the impact knocked the doe completely off its feet and it landed about 8 feet back. A 50 cal up to a reasonable range is extremely lethal. [/QUOTE]
