ranges locally are 200 yards or less for the most part - I hear  some of the old timers used to load these for Jr's and Reduced recoil at 200 - 300 yards

thoughts?

Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, sixty rounds powder and ball, and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

Why not? I use them in the 7.62x39 for hunting.

They will work, trajectory will be different than 150 gr, but if enough to make a difference is unknown.

I would use them out to 300 or 400 yards, no problem.
They have men amongst them who know very well what they are about, having been employed as Rangers against the Indians and Canadians and this country being much covered with wood, and hilly, is very advantageous for their method of fighting. . . . ".  Lord Percy

Sounds like New Englanders to me.

125 grain soft points work great in a bolt gun if you shoot a semi-auto you may want to go with a ballistic tip or hollow point. I shoot 125 Nosler ballistic tips in my ar-10 for rodents and coyotes, I also shoot Speer TNT 125 hollow points but they don't expand as well in a prairie dog. Both are very accurate rounds in my rifle
