I'n the past I have taken a many a deer with a .490 ball patched with pillow ticking up to 100 yards using 80-100gr of FFG & this year I've been impressed with my shooting ability using my cast .495 ball & .010 patch over 80gr. 777 FFFG in my Bobcat rifle.

If you practice enough with your rifle to where you know it's range & abilities within reson a .50cal or larger PRB rifle will cleanly take most any large game out there in the continental U.S..
