Please tell us what you expect to be able to do with this notional rifle, and we'll try and help you out. At the moment you are positing various rifles with little 'aim' in mind, and we have no idea of your level of knowledge or experience. Your questions are virtually meaningless, like asking, how far can I go in this car or that car.

I'm betting that nobody actually knows the maximum range of any black powder rifle of the kind that we talk about here. Maybe 1500 metres, who knows?

I'm also betting that YOU actually mean the longest EFFECTIVE range on either meat or paper, but then again, you don't say.

Please get your questions straight and we'll help/advise - right now we are blowing smoke.

Most smoothbore Civil War artillery field pieces have a nominal range of about 1700 yards-say one mile. A solid spherical projectile can bounce along the ground up to that distance further. That is a standard. Muzzle loading rifles in general with round ball and iron sights are usually 100-200 yard guns in the hands of most of us for practical field accuracy. There are just too many variables between guns, loads and shooter's individual abilities to give a pat answer. If, as I suspect, you are looking for your first rifle, try to buy a good name brand reproduction, with a good clean bore and decent sights, and burn a pound or two of powder learning your piece. You have to know your own limitations.

Max "effective " range in the hands of a Master is 1,000 yards. But that's shooting at huge bullseye targets the size of a car.

Most average dudes who hit the range 5 times a year with rifles most likely don't shoot them past 200.

Not unless your car is six feet in diameter, it ain't. Here in UK we shoot at targets this size at up to 1200 yards, as indeed ALL long-range muzzleloaders do, internationally.
