Couple of roundball kills for the Hawken

[30338]

Lot of ways to make this stuff hard or easy. This rig shoots around 95-105 grains of ffg pyrodex powder very tightly with a .530 roundball. I like a range like that as I always spill a little when loading in the field. Its easy to clean and easy to hunt with. Shot the antelope doe at 95 yards on a spot and stalk hunt. Shot the whitetail buck at 22 yards after I figured out where he was coming into a corn field. Kind of planning on bear, elk and deer again next year. That load is very easy on the shoulder as well.

Awesome! What brand is the rifle? That's a good looking gun.

Thanks guys. Something about the plains in the fall. Had flock after flock of cranes migrating, pheasants cackling, coyotes howling, just a great time to be out.

That rifle is a kit from Pecatonica Arms. The wood upgrade was worth it. They are not easy and after I got about 20% in I decided to have a pro finish it for me. Lefthanded version is in work right now.
