[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1675059, member: 104363"] Part of the fun in hunting is getting in close, such as elk, pronghorn and deer. Do that first, and don't worry about 6.5 bullets. I've killed elk with muzzleloaders shooting a sabot/240 gr 44 cal pistol bullet at 1500 fps max, some with 470 gr. Cast bullets. Others with an '06 and a 7mm mag. You'll have no problems. Just have fun planning and executing the stalk and get in a reasonable distance. Just because we can send one at long range, doesn't mean we have to. It's thrilling to plan a stalk and put it into play. Especially on speed goats! [/QUOTE]
