    I put a musket nipple on my Investarms Hawken. I didn't need to adjust or move the hammer at all.

    CCI Musket Caps

    Range Update - I have shot about 25 of the CCI Musket Caps. I have no problems with them in my Hawken. They ignite every Swiss 3f powder charge.

    Minie Recommendation

    I shoot Lyman 575-494 Minies in my Zouave. The accuracy is really good at 50 yds. I have not shot them at 100 yds yet. https://i.postimg.cc/gkQZCw87/Lyman-575-for-Zouave.jpg

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Made it to the range for the first time this year. Shot my Hawken and Zouave. A lot of the younger guys had never seen a Hawken being shot or the sound of it. They were surprised. Bought 900 musket caps this week, 800 RWS and 100 CCI just to see if they are any good.

    Patches

    Hawken Target

    I tried 2F but did not get any better group. I am working on making a solid buttstock rest. Based on my experiments, the patch makes a big difference in group size. I get better groups using ticking patches. I have SWISS 3f, Olde Eynsford 2f and 3f, and Goex 2f to use.

    Hawken Target

    Forearm on a rest. Buttstock not on rest but I had it pretty secure in my arm which was on a shooting bag. I would like to try again with a better buttstock rest.

    Hawken Target

    Still working on improving my Hawken .50 groups at 50 yards. This target shot with 60 grs of OE 3f and Flintlocks LLC patches. This is one of my better groups. These patches ram down the barrel easier than larger Ox-Yoke patches.
