Johnny Reb,

I think 100 yards is the long side of my using a .50 smoothbore for deer. I would prefer more like 75 yards to be fairer to the deer because my 100 yards groups are about 5 inches. In the deer woods, 75 yards would be a long shot, in any case.

I would like to have a .54 T/C Hawken or T/C .54 Renegade smooth barrel. Shot loads in a rifled barrel never patterned well for me with #5 or #6 shot.
