    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.

    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.

    Basic Q & A........

    So I've been doing this for a while now (20+ years) although no buckskinner I've launched a few hundred roundballs down range. I have mostly used Pyrodex RS (some Goex 2F -hard to get), mostly .490 Speer round balls, patched with .015 precut patches (sometime pre-lubed, sometimes self-lubed with...

    Hello from Southern Idaho

    Been shooting off and on for 20 or so years with a T/C Hawkin. Just recently dusted it off and shot some Jackrabbits. Had forgotten just how much fun shooting the it was. Will not let it sit for so long this time! Hoping this site can teach this old dog some new tricks.
