    Patch material?

    Wondering what you folks use for patch material other than the commercial material and what's the best source for it? The closest thing I've found is military cleaning patches which work well with a .530 RB, but they're pretty tight after getting down the barrel using the jag on the ramrod...

    .54 Hawken is finally back up and ready

    Got my .530 RB mold in the mail Tuesday and started doing some casting. Had everything ready to go and looked at the rear sight to find no elevation screw in it and the windage screw was stripped out to the point where no screwdriver in the world would have turned it. Pulled the rear sight and...

    using shot in a rifled barrel?

    Is ther any safe way to use shot, say #6, in a rifled 54 barrel without damaging the lands and grooves? I figure a sabot might work, but figured I'd better ask. Thanks

    Barrel for strictly RB

    Michigan whitetails

    Been hearing from a few people about how many whitetails there are up in Michigan and how nice it is to hunt around the Lakes. I'm getting the fever pretty bad and was thinking maybe a trip up that way next year might be in order. I'd like to get my first whitetail using a smokepole. Any...

    Questions on getting started the right way (.54 Hawken)

    I just drug out a TC Hawken .54 that belonged to my dad and gave a good cleaning. I'd like to start working up some loads for it after I get my Lee RB mold and I was wondering what the min. and max loads for this thing are? I don't have any sort of owners manual for it, so I was hoping someone...
