    Accidently Bought a Rifle

    I've followed this post from day one, both with enjoyment with all the experienced help and information you couldn't buy should you try, also with much amusement. JMOWP, I've had a Thompson/Center Hawken .45 I bought in 1971 and have shot quite a bit with the only replacement needed was a new...

    Mentors

    My greatest mentors have been all the school teachers I've had. Without these people I'd still be looking at the pictures in the "funny papers" and guessing what was being said. Shooting mentors have been many, many more over the years. Experienced shooters, just by watching their habits have...

    H/A underhammer Barrels.

    I love the under hammers as it was my first muzzle loading "shootable" rifle, 'bout ten years before T/C. 'Til then, plenty of percussion shotguns I wish I still had. Martin

    Range Box

    No matter how big my shooting box, I use two machinist tool cases, one for my muzzle loaders and one for my single shot rifles. All the "stuff" I need will never fit in either of them. I guess you know what I mean. The last few years we've not spent a whole day at the range. Time seems to catch...

    Just my feelings, Barrel lengths with the same caliber and twist may make a difference.

    relining T/C Hawken barrels

    Thanks for the reply GoodCheer.This was not something I'd thought about. I've used #457124 & #457125 in my 45/70s for a good half century as they were the utmost accurate I was ever to find. Your chart shows some impressive ballistics with this combo. I'd never thought of something as ingenious...

    h&a under hammer

    My first muzzle loading rifle was a "Numrich" "H&A" complete shooting kit. As I recall, gun, caps, patches, powder, bullets, and a crude bullet mould with tongs attached that were the same as the tongs that we used to take my baby, "at the time" daughters sterilized bottles from the boiling...

    relining T/C Hawken barrels

    Looks like a beautiful job. I am anticipating some surgery in the next month, this will set me back only a couple weeks, hopefully. In the meantime I'll contact Mr. Hoyt for particulars. I'm only familiar with the T/C Hawken model as far as specs on twist rate. Did you opt for a faster twist to...
