Do you think that a well placed shot at a whitetail with 70 grain of FF behind a round ball is adequate under 100 yds. or should a sabot or miniball be used?

I took a miniball last year but only for deer. Otherwise I shoot round ball at the range. I like the accuracy of the round ball in my Hawken.
