Greetings from Edmonton, Alberta!

[Trooper]

I'm just getting back into Black powder shooting and realize how much I missed this! My wife and I both have Hawken TC rifles, hers is a .50, mine is a .54. We both need to work up loads for our beauties.

From southern Alberta? I spent loads of time down there at CFB Suffield, Medicine hat and Lethbridge. My wife and I toured the pincher creek area to the Milk River writing on stone provincial park in 2015 and love that area! Are you on the albertaoutdoorsmen site as well?

 

[Celticstoneman]

Thank you all for the welcomes! Sorry I couldn't respond before now, I was out with my dog, Trooper, riding the sidecar motorbike for an afternoon. Well, I had planned on going to go out and shoot my Hawken today, but the wind would have made it difficult to work on grouping and testing various loads, but I decided to mount a Vernier tang site on her instead. Now it's waiting for the plastic steel to cure before any white smoke is made. My better half and I will most likely head out tomorrow to play with our toys!

Ain’t it supposed to only be +4c and snowing tomorrow? Where around Edmonton do you shoot?

We actually live east and a bit north of Edmonton. A small town called Bruderheim. Lots of farm land to play on out here.

we are doing fantastic! Since I've joined, I promised my step son my .54 cal Renegade and today my wife and I just returned from meeting a fellow who had a PRISTINE .50 cal TC Hawken to trade. I gave him a 12 ga 0/U shotgun.
The .50 had 10 rounds fired through it and had been sitting in his lockup for 15 years. I inspected the bore and the rifling is fantastic. The rifle is like brand new! I'll start a new thread with pics of our rifles.
