What about 20?
30?
in "battlefield" conditions, anybody getting hit by musket fire at 100 yards or more was considered sheer blind luck.

however, a single, "sniper" shot might well be able to reach out that far, given careful loading and some skill. I know a rifleman shot a french general at 300+ yards, but that was with a rifle.
