    Accurate loads for .50 T/C?

    I found that my most accurate load thus far has been 55 ffg of blackpowder with a yellow box .490 ball and .018 patch. I have tried up to 75 grains and haven't been able to duplicate the accuracy of the 55 ffg. For Minie balls, I like to use 60 - 65 grains not not much more. I haven't...

    T/C Hawken kit year of production

    I called T/C and asked if they could date my recently acquired Hawken rifle. The person I spoke with said a couple of years ago they had a fire and lost all of the Hawken records. The only way I can figure to date a rifle is to see if anyone has a rifle with a serial number close to yours...

    Happy New Years! I received my first blackpowder rifle a few days ago - a Thompson Center Hawken rifle in .50 Cal. I have spent the last few days researching everything there is on the Hawken rifle and blackpowder shooting. I read one post in another thread which referenced this site and I...
