    Sounds good Tom. I will pick some of them up to see how they shoot in my rifle. Thanks to everyone that answered my posts. I recieved a lot of good information. Now that I know what I want to buy the problem is finding the components. Is there a good online site that sells and has black...

    T/C 54 Cal Hawken

    Do any of those all lead bullets leave lead in the barrel. I have been reluctant to try the lead bullets as I don't want to have to clean the lead from the barrel.

    T/C 54 Cal Hawken

    Several people have mentioned the maxiball now. I may have to give that a try. My buddy keeps telling me to try the powerbelt 300 or 350 copper coated hollowpoints but I don't even know it the rifling of my muzzleloader will engage the bullet. Just wondering if that bullet is worth trying...

    The alcohol sounds like a good idea. Maybe I will put some in a small spray bottle.

    Do any of these lead bullets leave any lead behind in the rifling? I had a problem with my .44 magnum handgun years ago because I was shooting some lead bullets over 800 fps in my pistol. Just wondering if that could be a problem. Thanks

    I havent tried the felt patch. Do I just cut up some felt cirles the size of the diameter of the barrel?

    I briefly experimented with the .535 ball years ago but they were prety tight to load with the .015 patch. That's probably why I have an unopened package of .005 thickness patches. I will give them a try. Thanks for the info.

    I do have a box of the .535 balls. I will try them with some lighter loads to see what groups I get. Thanks for the advice.

    Thanks for your input. I think I may go with the goex powder. Whatever black powder I used in 1980 had better results than the Pyrodex.

    T/C 54 Cal Hawken

    I have a 54 Cal T/C Hawken that I built from a kit in 1980. Barrel has a 1 in 48" twist. I haven't used it in 30 years now. It never did shoot the round ball very accurately. I am hoping to try something new that will give me better accuracy when I go elk hunting in September. Any help on...
