    New (used) T/C Hawken

    October Country made a nice synthetic ramrod for me.

    Which one would you get?

    I have a percussion Woodsman. It is accurate with patched ball, saboted pistol bullets and Hornady Great Plains conicals. Good rifle at a fair price. :thumbsup:

    Patches too big for .54 cal?

    I took my .54 1996 vintage Cabelas Hawken to the range today and the larger patches worked perfectly. No need to trim, no hang-up on the short starter or ramrod, and a nice 3" group at 100 yards with my Lee home cast .530 ball and 80 grains of Pyrodex RS. Thanks for your help.

    Two different lengths of T/C nipples

    I have two different nipples that fit my T/C New Englander. The shorter one seems to allow the hammer to hit the cap more squarely, and that is the one I will use. Does the longer one belong on another T/C rifle? It has a single band engraved on the cap shaft. John :confused:
