I have always been a big fan of Val Forgett and Navy Arms. In the 1975 Lyman Black Powder Handbook, there is an article written by Forgett describing his muzzle loader African safari. One of the rifles he used was a 58 cal Hawken Hunter. The projectile he used was a 610 grain thick skirted mini from a mold made by Shiloh Products. It was loaded on top of 180 grains of FFFg.
I recently acquired a Hawken Hunter and would like to duplicate this load. Unfortunately, any attempts to locate Shiloh Products turns up nothing. Anyone know what happened to this company and if this mold can still be acquired?
