    Bullet / Powder choice for GPH

    I was at the range yesterday with my .54 t/c hawken percussion 1:48 twist using the Hornady gph 435 grain hollow points and 90 gns of 2f 777. Off a rest at 25 yds I had a 3 shot group of 1 1/4 inches and at 50 yds had the same size 3 shot group, again with 90 gns. powder. I also had some 380 gn...

    Fouling Shot

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I'm taking the concensus is that most everyone expects to have a different point of impact from a clean barrel than from subsequent shots. Is it as radical as my experience- say 6 inches at 50 yds.? I can live with that for hunting and sight it in for a clean...

    Fouling Shot

    Well, I've got 2 T/C Hawken .54 caplock guns and am working up loads- a recommended load from one of the forum members was 80-90 gns 2F with my 380 REAL bullets lubed with bore butter. They do group well with 90 gns- about 1 1/2 inches at 50 yds. Great- but the problem I face with both guns is...

    OPTIMUM ROT FOR .54 CONICALS?

    Scott I got the 380 gn REAL from TOW last night and cast some this morning. Using 70 gns of 2f 777 at 50 yds I was able to get 3 shots into 1 1/2 inches which made me really happy. I only shot 3 at 100 yds with the same load due to time constraints and had about a 6 inch group but 100 yds is...

    Browning Questions

    I recently browned my older T/C Hawken using some old Tru-Brown that I had and I'm pleased with the results. http://photobucket.com/albums/v686/FlyFAmerica/Hawken/ I haven't shot it since and therefore haven't cleaned it using my conventional system of pumping boiling or near boiling water thru...

    OPTIMUM ROT FOR .54 CONICALS?

    I've got a T/C Hawken 1:48 percussion .54 that shoots round balls well(2 inches at 50 yds) with 90 gn 2f 777 and I just bought a lee 300 gn REAL mold. Works well(2inch gps) with 90 gns of 2f at 50 yds but seem to be all over the paper at 100. Maybe it's my eyes or maybe I should try the 380 gn...
