I had a good day at the range with my T/C Hawken, .58 caliber.

I shot three targets freehand from 25 yards -- here are two of the targets:

I also shot a number of rounds seated at 50 yards. Here is that target:

Throughout the day I used 65 grains of Goex 2F, followed by an ox-yoke wad, then a Hornady .570 round ball in a pillow ticking patch.

I fired well over 20 rounds and only swabbed out the barrel once. The wad did a nice job of keeping the barrel clean of fouling.

I made sure to tap the barrel several times after pouring in the powder. No misfires. Everything went fine!

Last winter, I switched to a musket cap nipple and use musket caps with this rifle. Again, no misfires, no problems.

I have installed a Williams peep on my T/C 50 cal. I was gonna post some good target pics today, but yesterday when I shot it, the T/C Maxi Hunters were keyholing. They've never done that before, kinda got me bumfuzzled.
