I received a .50 cal percussion Hawkins for christmas(can't really hide the sucker), and I need the accessories for it. It was obtained used, without the instruction manual.
For example, what caliber balls do I need/can use? I noticed the local Scheels carries both .495 and .490 caliber balls, but their selection otherwise, is well, poor.
Any good sites that you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for items of reasonable period authenticity for the moment.
For the time being, I'm only looking at target shooting.
