    Pictures of my restored 45cal TC Hawken.

    Very nice, a rifle any Mountain Man would be proud to carry.

    Pawn Shop Percussion

    $100 spent on that rifle is way better and will last much longer than $100 spent taking the kids to the movie theatre or out to dinner.

    FFFg in 50 Cal Hawkin?

    Great thanks. I bought all 4 bottles that he had.........for $60. Couldn't pass it up for that. It's Goex in the plastic containers so can't be really old.

    FFFg in 50 Cal Hawkin?

    Is it ok to shoot FFFg in a 50 cal? I typically shoot FFg but am about out and a local shop has a couple jugs of FFF? Curious if it is too fine and increases pressures or if it can be loaded like FFg? Thanks.

    Percussion caps #11

    Picked up a few at our local Sportsman's store. Nice to see them in stock again. Had been making them with the 22lrreloader kit, but 'store bought' is sure easy.

    Favorite Load for your TC Hawken .50 Cal

    Would love to find a more powerful load but as I increase the powder over 60-65gr, I can just watch the groups open up. My rifle has the 1:48 barrel. Makes me wonder if a round ball has an optimal RPM?

    Favorite Load for your TC Hawken .50 Cal

    Been working to find the most accurate load in my TC Haken. Have always shot decent groups ~2"-3" @ 50 yards but lately have been on a mission to shrink that down. My rifle has always shot better 'dirty' with TC pre lubed patches and .490 RB's. I remember Dutch saying that my patches were too...

    Lubing patches with mink oil ?

    Bet everyone in the area will be hungry within a few shots.

    what do you use when swabbing between shots?

    T/C #13. Just a diagonal line across the patch of wet/damp dots from a Visine dropper. Swab in and out, load up and shoot. No issues here.

    Minié Ball Trajectory

    Plenty of assumptions but figuring a 425gr projectile going 1300fps with a bc of .131 sighted at 75 yards your rifle will be about 1" high at 25 yards, 1.3" high at 50, zero at 75, -3.2" at 100 yards, -8.4" at 125 yards and -15.8" at 150 yards. I use Hornady's calculator quite a bit. Simple and...

    Function of a patented breech?

    Found this interesting. At least the pics really show what is going on. https://www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/thompson-center-hawken-renegade-fire-channel-patented-breech.374193/
