    45 t/c hawken + prb problems

    ...hello charley...that is some good advice from some of the best experience here...I agree with them that something is not right...measure balls, barrel, etc...because a .440 PRB should slip into a clean T/C .45 with a .10 patch quite easily...good luck...

    Best Hawken Loads

    ...I gotta agree with 2-tall and rifleman... A .49 patched ball with 60-70 gr. of 3F is plenty... Proper shot placement will do the rest... In fact, I am convinced that proper shot placement will do the most... :thumbsup:

    .32 still giving me hell....

    ...I've messed around with a few different options in both my .32s over the years and gotta agree with squeeze that .319 is a darn tight squeeze (could not resist the pun)... I'd be surprised if much air could squeeze (thar I go again) past that fit, let alone a patch... I find .310 with .15...

    Dixons Gunmakers Fair

    Ballistol or Barricade?
