[QUOTE="FrontierGander, post: 3339895, member: 8487"] Yes, I took my first muzzleloader elk in 2008 with a 54 cva mountain rifle with a .530 round ball and 80gr pyrodex rs. I got her at 140 yards with a single shot to the lungs. I'd recommend more powder, especially if shooting out to 150 yards. I think my load was really pushing it but hey, its a ball, it kills by boring a hole through the vitals, not so much by expansion. [/QUOTE]
