[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1696229, member: 94491"] yup-- I used a cardboard cut out of a lope that I made-- during the rut, the bucks will come towards an "intruder" -- closest they got to my cut out was about 40-50 yards heavy, fat ML bullets can kill further than I can shoot-that is for sure the fpb is moving at 1950fps-- it shows a mpbr of 196 yards at my altitude and still has 982 ft lbs of energy at 400 yards-- watch the twist rate in your barrel, most ML now-a-days have twist rates that would for long heavy copper bullets, but some still have the slower twist rates for short conical bullets here is a good article to read over [URL]https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/10-of-the-best-muzzleloader-bullets-for-hunters/[/URL] bar none, if you can use BH209 powder, it will get you the fastest velocities with the least amount of smoke and no dreaded "crud ring" --just make sure you clean properly no matter what powder you use [/QUOTE]
