interesting....

Although Daryl's testimonies (and others) as to the brutal penetration capabilities of a hardened lead round ball does give me increasing confidence... although if I went hunting for grizzly in Canada I would probably opt for the double rifle in the 50 caliber edition. Yet, that is not to say the hardened lead RB would not smack a grizzly down, because they have been known to do that and certainly years ago many were hunted with black powder guns with round ball (even the soft lead variety). Certainly their fps was much lower than the 1500 - 1700 fps velocities that modern powders and load technology can throw a round ball. In fact, I think the old round balls were travelling at 1100 fps tops... Big difference in penetration there alone. Add to that the hardened aspect and there is NO comparison between what an 'old' round ball could do and what a modern shotgun with RB can do.
