DR...a 36 is pretty small for a muzzleloader and has always been considered a small game rifle. I load 20 grs. of FFFg and the velocity is about the same as a 22 LR. but the ball weighs 60 grs. It's very destructive on body shots, which I avoid at all costs. Head shots only, and I get plenty of meat for the wife and I without having to chew on #4 or #6 pellets or having hair drug into the meat by the pellet. I have scoped rimfires and centerfires but haven't used them in years. They just aren't as challanging.

Pretty kool.
It's kinda like a .17 HMR from what I hear, when they hit the body there really aint anything left but furr.
