It depends
Maximum effective range means different things to different folks. There is no doubt that a .50 caliber lead ball will go 300 yards. Hitting a specific target at that range would be a real challenge. I have played with some ballistic software programs and the trajectory of a musket ball is quite something with a lot of drop. My effective range with a muzzleloader and iron sights is within 100 yards. All the best...
