Kilber Hawken calibers?

"I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leaveth my bear rifle to whatever finds it. Lord hope it be a white man. It is a good rifle, and killt the bear that killt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours truly, Hatchet Jack."

Gratuitous off-subject repetition of oft-mentioned movie scene for your viewing pleasure (well, mine anyway).

A .36 Hawken would weight right around 12 1/2#. Not something you would want to lug around.
