Thank you/ Range Report (Big pics)

Thanks to everyone here I had a very successful first trip to the range with my T/C Hawken .50
I've never had this much fun shooting. I wish I had tried muzzzleloaders before.

This is my Hawken I completed recently.

and my target. 50 yards, 60 grains of pyrodex, .490 round ball, .015 pre-lubed patch.

There is definitely a lot of satisfaction in it that's for sure...and it sounds like you're hooked... :thumbsup:

Great looking gun! I'm working on a T/C Hawken project myself.

Now Step #2...up your charge to 90 grain and shoot at 100 yd targets! Your Hawkin will really Sing then!!! :hatsoff:

NICE!!! :hatsoff:

I find that 60 grains of FFF Goex makes an excellent hunting load in a .50 caliber rifle.

Better sell that gun and fast! You will never be the same. :rotf: Once you smell the blackpowder it very hard to stop shooting. Great looking gun, enjoy. :thumbsup:

I'm already thinking about getting a squirrel gun. :grin: I love to squirrel hunt and I think a .32 cal will be finding it's way to my house before squirrel season. :grin:
