I shoot a 50 cal TC Hawken with 85 grains of fff black powder, and a patch & ball. I have killed several deer with this gun, and it is suprisingly accurate out to 100 yards.

It lasts all season for me. The best time to kill a big buck with a flintlock is during the rut not during that one week the state uses to sell extra licenses.
Plus that big white cloud of smoke just looks better hanging in cold, frosty still air than it does hanging in a cloud of humidity and skeeters.

I like it.
Thanks,
