.50 cal Knight with 295 gr powerbelts, 100 gr pyrodex pellets and musket caps.  I've killed two elk with this combo and both times the bullet came to rest just under the hide on the opposite side.  Dosn't get much beter than that.

No No No, that is the Duck gun, elk and deer are O.S.O.K ( One Shot One Kill ) which means NO Trigger time. Duck and goose hunting is where we get trigger time    :IBCOOL:
