Slightly more accurate than throwing a rock. These were large diameter smoothbore firearms- internal barrel diameter was not always consistent. 25 FEET would be a usable range.

PS- I have flintlock and cap lock muzzleloading pistols that are EXREMELY accurate at 50 YARDS- but those are rifled, and from a much later period.
