RE: Traditional .50 or .54
i would go with .50cal.like said, get twist you want for round ball or conical.i have 2 t/c hawkins.they dont shoot the round balls well but do the MAXI-BALL.at 75 yards,open sights,i can put the .370 MAXI-BALL not MAXI-HUNTER,stay away from hunter,almost touching each hole.80 grains of 2f,wonder pads,4 f in pan.the frizzens are junk on t/c hawkins and others,but lyman frizzens , they are good.less powder,the more accurate.take care.
