Muzzle loaders do not generate the velocity needed for an explosive devastating wound. It punches a hole through without much deformation of the projectile.
If you miss the CNS you will only be causing a nasty, painful, but not quickly lethal wound. The animal is likely to starve to death. A solid hit in the lungs will kill quickly
Alrighty then - it sounds like the consensus is that this is a bad idea. I will stick with a heavy conical bullet and a heart/lung shot if I draw in - thanks all. That's what I needed to know.

Special thanks to Wyosmith for all the wisdom.
