It really just matters what u are comfortable with. I know guys that wont shot over a 100 yards with a inline. I shot a big horn and I am comfo
rable at 200 yards. But that doesn't mean u are.
I shot 9 month out of the year it might only be 5 bullets a months but I know my gun and the powder it likes and the grain of bullets it like to shoot. I use 120 loose powder and TC 250 shock waves. My gun is sighted in at 4inches high a 100 yards.
I have a kill shot at 187yards deer ran 30 yards and piled up. I have a 176 yard shot that the deer dropped in its track and a 130+ yard shot and fell in its tracks and the last deer was 25 yards bedded down.
Practice is the key with muzzleloader test bullets and try pellets or loss powder.Lot of people don't have anyware to shot I'm forgenet we have a local range out of town that locals can shoot at.
I no a lot of people will disagree with me but that is what I can shoot
