I use anywhere from 100-140 grains 2F depending on whether I'm shooting 50-58 caliber! Why? Because over a long period of time it gives me the best accuracy available! What works for me won't work for you!

Yep

Yep it gets hot here during late Spring, Summer and early Fall but when the Damn Yankees are in snow butt hole deep to a tall Geeraf we are shooting in nice weather!

You have to be a history buff to get away from all the modern BS thats ‘out there’ when purchasing an authentic style ML like a Hawken rifle! These have standard barrel sights, no leaf spring rear style sight or plastic ‘glosight’ up front; which is normally a copper blade cut to size as needed...

If it’s smooth….it ain’t a rifle!

apparently aren’t all the same size-wise! Time before last I was wondering why I was having ignition problems with my GRRW Hawken and it was because the nipple in place was too big such that the cap didn’t fit as it should! Changed back to an older nipple and it fired every time!

Thank you! I figured! Would have been much too convenient to be easy!

I have a smooth bore; it's called a shotgun!

I don't buy books! All my reading is done through Kindle at Amazon! Lots of good historical material available and some Mountain Man stuff that is no charge!

David Tubb can tell you all about it! Read his book!

Experience is a good teacher......but she's MEAN!!

You haven’t lived until you’ve shot twice across the NMC in one day at 29 Palms USMC base in August!

Method? Ha!

Lordy...it would be a hoot to own that dude!

Here's a little tidbit of info that some folks don't know about. When these rifles were put together and machined by the Old Masters....so as to have the lands of the barrel match exactly the lands within the false muzzle.....the barrels were either made or ordered extra long and cut off at the...

I wish I owned a good slug gun!! Are you loading with a false muzzle??

I've been casting since 1948 and I can tell you that the man casting those slugs....knows what he's doing!!
