The vast majority of my shooting with the 54 cal has been target. Either for the fun of it or for preparation for hunting season. Unfortunately life and health has held me to a single hunting season with it.

Back in my old competition days, I used a .50 flintlock rifle I built with 50 gr. FFG. It was mostly offhand shooting but it was deadly. I shot it at 200 yards at a pig silhouette but bumped the charge up to 80 gr. it knocked the pig over.
Nowadays for target shooting, I like my .36 with 35 gr FFG.

I think most of the shooting with traditional muzzleloaders is recreational these days. At least if you count shots fired per gun
The I only use it for hunting guys go out maybe once a year and shoot to make sure it shoots good for hunting
