[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1530625, member: 99718"] I have no Idea what the numbers are for the energy, but my target at 200 yards was stapled to a 4 or 5 inch tree and I had under a 2" group at 200 yards and the bullets were splitting the back of that tree open, so That is energy to spare at 200 yards and I already said that would be all the farther I would be shooting, and the loose powders are what I saw guys using that say they have killed deer close to 500 yards with this same gun and basically the same bullet, but with a heavier charge of loose powder ! Someone on here said that the Remington inlines could kill them at 800 yards ! Now that is what I would call shooting too far with a muzzleloader !
