"Bill the dinosaur hunter"... That is what your friends might start calling you when you commence throwing those 14 dram charges under a quarter pound round ball around. You and Bob will be equipped to take on T-Rex. I raise my hand to play back up man with my 4 bore Blunderbuss. Once he charges he's mine! If I don't knock him down flat I promise to blind him with smoke! hahaha

Yes reading the prior age hunter's detailed books on high dram hunting with round ball is impressive for sure. And, we, ie some of us here, have rediscovered the awesome effectiveness of the round ball for hunting and stopping dangerous game.
