Finding the maximum effective range of a civillian flintlock smoothbored gun

In this video I was trying to answer a question that has been on my mind for some time.

That is, what is the maximum effective range of a civilian smooth-bored gun, as it would have been loaded and used by a colonial militiaman or frontiersmen during the French and Indian Wars, or during the American War for independence.

This video is a pretty long, and there is a lot of background noise. I apologize for that.
