[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2410099, member: 6078"] Well, assuming it lights the pan powder, and assuming that lights the charge, and assuming that happens within a second or 2 before either you or the deer flinches, I'd say 150 yards is about as far as I'd expect to be able to hit a deer with a 50cal flintlock and actually kill it. But I cant remember the last time I even had an opportunity that far in late season. I have a 50 that was my grandpas, and a 62cal smoothbore I built 15 years ago from a navy arms barrel and a bucket of spare t/c parts. 75 yards is definitely a long shot with it. Long range Is kinda off the table in a thicket with a foot of snow and a flintlock. :D it's fun. [/QUOTE]
