	Which is just another way of saying that BC isn't important if the shooter is doing a good job and his loads are consistent.

	If BC doesn't matter, just use a roundball

	What is the BC of a round ball?

	C'mon, fess up. When you shot that thing at 200, you upped the charge, because you 'knew' it needed more than your target load for a hun. C'mon, tell us........... I once shot my .32-40 at 300, and didn't even move the scope settings. True story. (duplex reticle, and a little Kentucky got a few good hits on a gong)

The Bc gets worse as the velocity rises. When I shot muzzle loader, I got just about the same as Bob, with a 50 Cal, percussion rifle. 12" at 200 is about as good as it gets with a open sight round ball rifle. Frank

(duplex reticle, and a little Kentucky got a few good hits on a gong) I think I used to shoot about 75 or 80 FFg at 25 and 50 yds. About 100 at 100. I probably used my hunting load at 200 which would have been 120 FFG.. I don't recall the hold for 200, but I doubt one could get enough power to use the 100 yard setting at 200
