What was the range, caliber, bullet weight, approximate velocity, etc?
He was about 25 to 30 yds away. I believe the .50 cal ball weighs about 180 grains. We chronoed the 60 grain FFG load at 1520 avg. over 6 shots. It takes a skilled hunter to take a deer with a BP pistol I can tell you. It is beyond my skill.
