    How fast is a Hawken ball?

    I imagine it is accurate even with 125 FF. That is a lot of powder, and no matter to me, just buy more powder.

    Trying out Lee real 360gr cast lead bullets for the first time

    Yes, those are them. They have a hollow base. They dont shoot at all in my Encore or my Impact. How do they shoot for you?

    Trying out Lee real 360gr cast lead bullets for the first time

    I have a 50 cal. REAL mold that is 360 gr. It is hollow in the back . I never got decent groups with it in the inline. I guess I should go out and try them in my 50 cal. TC Hawken with the 48/1 barrel. I am happy with the round balls so I never wanted to use an extra 180 grains of lead to...

    BP Nubie Range Report

    I dont know how you can go so many shots without cleaning the barrel. I clean it every shot, but every other shot works fine too. What am I doing wrong? I only shoot roundball though.

    Thompson center hawken 1"48

    I have 2 1/48" twists and a 1/66" twist. The 1/66" shoots the round balls better , however, it is a Green mountain barrel compared to 2 used 1/48" . I am sure a custom barrel in 1/48" would shoot very well. I cant however get my 1/48 " to shoot a bullet at all. The other one I never tried...

    Making your own percussion caps?

    This is some really good info. I have plenty of primers and about 700 #11 caps. However, I have not seen a primer in months and # 11 caps are getting hard to find too.

    Great day on the range

    Come to think of it, they are hard to pull out sometimes.

    Great day on the range

    Frontier, do you ever just use a dry patch. I always just use a dry one. it seems to get the dirt out but I use 2 patches to do it.

    Percussion caps

    I have only used CCI # 11 and # 11 Magnums . I dont see a difference. I have seen a red container pack but didn't buy them. I was getting #11 Mag all last yr for $ 4.38 . Then they went to $ 9.50. I then found some #11 at Cabelas and got 2 packs for free cause I had $25 gift money of reigning...

    why I like shooting muzzle stuffers

    For some reason , I just would rather shoot my TC Hawken. I must admit however, I snicker when some at the range look at me funny when I take it out. They stop snickering when I outshoot them.

    NO YEAST at the store....

    I should have known about Amazon. However we found some old stuff and might give it a try.

    NO YEAST at the store....

    Wife and I tried 2 places and no yeast. I dont know why for sure but it seems odd many people started making bread.

    Green mtn barrel opinion

    I have regular ticking patch material of about .018 to .02 . I have a hunch I am too light on the lube. I seldom lube much cause I always wondered if it ruins the powder.

    Green mtn barrel opinion

    I have the same one. It's a good barrel but was not getting better groups than the stock barrel till I discovered the thing like 3F more than 2F. I can get 2"- 2 1/2" most times @ 50 yds with my peep sight. With 2F GOEX or Swiss , I am around 3" Olde Eyensford does not seem to be a good...

    Rust stopping oil

    I shot my Hawken Tuesday and the next day I had some rust and was upset. I re applied some gun oil to the barrel. Only thing I can figure is there was some water in there yet. I have had a hard time keeping rust out of my new GM Barrel and dont know why. I actually send a patch down the next day...
