Now you have to work up the best load for target shooting and hunting. Have fun and keep us informed on your progress.
That’s my plan. Thank you

The gentleman I bought it from said it shoots a .520 ball. And from what I have read on the internet says that’s what it shoots. I will soon find out.

Very nice, what a great find, congratulations. I got the short end of a trade many years ago or I'd still have mine, still kick myself for the stupidity of the deal.
Like others here, I would be interested to know how it shoots for you.
Very gosh darn nice gun.

I actually drove 625 miles round trip to pick the rifle up.
That's a long day (did 650 once for a pickup) but oh so satisfying. Really nice looking gun.I actually drove 625 miles round trip to pick the rifle up.

Nice rifle , I used one for 30 + years and thousands of shots . The first batch made by Uberti were .53 cal / 520 ball because this was the most common caliber made by the Hawken's , the next batch they upped the bore to .54 cal /.530/535 ball .
Thank you Dale.Looks right at home at your place Frank.
The Gemmer Club is working with the NMLRA to come up with a shooting competition for the Hawken Classic next August. Hope to see you there.
I missed the Hawken Classic this past year, hoping to make it to the one in 2023.
