I whack my deer with a Knight Bighorn in .50 cal. I use 250 grain polymer tipped sabot bullets behind 150gr. of pellets. I used to have a Hawkin flintlock, but gave it away after fidding with it for 10 years and not being aboule to hit a broadside of a barn with it. I have taken about 4 deer with the Bighorn and it kills pretty good, but not as quickly as a modern cartridge gun.
