40 Cal.
As I started my journey back into traditional muzzleloading after 35 years from college to Desert storm to operation restore hope. then marriage and kids I found this website. in the 2 years since then many many people have helped me along the way. my first posts were about heavy conicals and which gun to buy.
fast forward 2 years I bought a TC Hawken off of a member it was a .50 caliber. I sent it off got it rebored to .54 with a fast twist. while the barrel was with Mr. hoyt I bought a green mountain 32 inch 54 cal roundball barrel. I have to say this has turned into my favorite rifle. ive been shooting this rifle every week no matter if I put Goex 2F or pyro 2F this rifle shoots awesome the more powder I add the more she likes. today I added 10 more grains so 110 grains of Pyro 2F select at 50 yards I shot 5 shots hovering around an inch at 100 shot my best group ever a 5 shot 1.5 inch. maybe luck divine intervention but I am really love shooting roundballs out of this rifle. my current load is .530 roundball .018 patch and pyro 2F select id post pictures but got to find a better picture host. I never realized roundballs could be so accurate
