Spent 3hr shooting three different rifles. 2 PA Hunters and both seem to like 70gr, 015 pre-lubed patch with round ball. The Hawken has a 45GM barrel and shot 70gr, 015 pre-lubed with round ball. The PA Hunters shot the best but did not have time to work with the GM barrel. The GM barrel shot good with that amount of powder but I think it will do better with a lower charge.

Still sanding the browning off the Cabela's barrel. When I bought the TC renegade I also bought the sellers supplies. Looked it over. I should take a picture. Powder horns...with 2f and 4f, cleaning jags, dryball pullers, lead pot...with lead, casting tongs for calibers I don't have. caps...11's, 204'd , flints...stuff. cleaning solvents, patches, cleaning rods, nipple wrenches, nipples to fit, range box...came with the rifle.

It’s all good. I’ll see some another trip, but I appreciate the well wishes. I know how you feel on the leg pain. I blew out a disc in my back a few years ago. Let it go too long and it fired up nerve pain in my left leg. I’ve never had anything hurt that bad! Hope that clears up for you and you get back in the woods.

That's some fine shooting
With these old welders eyes I'm not sure I could even see them at that range.
I'm working on getting video off my camera now. The best part is that it was on camera.That's some fine shooting

Greg Y, that's some good shooting, though I'm not that surprised. Modern Hawkens can be wonderfully accurate once you find the load they like. As I noted earlier, mine accounted for a good number of open range prairie dogs from seated resting my elbows on the knees. 
Thanks for posting. Looks like u did a great job
U have some guns there bud. Sotty about your accident. Dang
Thank you for answeringWell, I'm not inclined to hammer anybody cause I usually hit myself on the thumb.
Do note however that when you do successfully separate the two the WW is not pure lead and is harder than lead. Another peculiarity of WW castings in that they will be around 8 BHN out of the mold but will harden to around 12 BHN over the next two weeks at room temperature.
So, today, I sharpened my chisels and moved my barrel inletting project into the basement onto my leather working table. Too dang cold in the garage.
Good shooting bud. Dang like your outfit!!! Sure enough MOUNTAIN MANShot my Frontier .50 caplock this morning. Mostly ringing steel at 50-130 yds but also put a few on paper at 75 yds. All shots off hand. 50 grains T7, .490 ball, .010 patch. Temps in the low 20's, but a great day for making smoke
