			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...
