Yes patched ( .15 ) 562 round ball with 80 grains of 2f. My son got the bear on his 14th bday. I'll be using a Cabela's/ investarm 58 hawken with the same load except I'm using a .18 patch. He got complete pass through and the bear made it maybe 25yds before letting out the death rattle. Last year my son took one with his 62 smoothbore with a .600 ball, .10 patch, wad. Over powder card, and 80 grs. Of 2f. Got complete pass through and that bear also rolled at about 25 yds.
