Best Answer

The Kentucky Long-Rifle is a quasi-category of long-barrel muzzle-loading rifles, rather than one particular make and model. This introduces factors such as varying bore and velocity, so an exact answer cannot be derived.

How far a rifle can shoot accurately also depends heavily upon the skill of the man wielding it.

It is typically accepted that your 'Average' marksman using one of those arms typically rolled into the category of the Kentucky-Long Rifle could accurately shoot at distance of up to 100 yards, with more experienced marksmen being effective up to 200. Gifted marksman meanwhile could potentially engage targets in the 300-400 yard range.
