    What I mean is that balls loose speed very quickly
    And speed is power
    So a 50 cal ball rifle is only a 50 meter deer rifle

    58 cal is nearly twice the weight and would be a good ball rifle for hunting red deer

    Conicals are entirely different with much higher weights and better B.C.s
