Guess I do not own any TC Hawken rifles that like TC maxi balls or maxi hunter bullets. Today I tried the maxi hunter bullets in my 45 cal TC Hawken. From 70 to 90 grains of triple seven 2f with felt wad over powder produced groups of 8+ inches at 50 yards. Loaded up some Hornady 285 gr HP great plains bullets and got a nice 7/8 inch clover leaf group?? I have 3 TC Hawken rifles a 45, 50 & one 54. All shoot best with the great plains bullets. I had a 45 cal Seneca barrel that also would not shoot those maxi hunter bullets? The 50 & 54 cal rifles will shoot the maxi hunter and maxi balls better but not as well as they will do with the great plains bullets. How many of you guys have had the same problem?
