Default RE: NEW BARREL FOR ROUNDBALLS

ORIGINAL: roundball

ORIGINAL: sproulman

i have .50 caltc hawkins,1-48 twist. i would like to get a barrel that would shoot the roundballs real good.any suggestions on barrel and twistand make.thanks
TC makes .50 and .54cal x 1:66" round ball barrels for the Hawken and Renegade...TC's Fox Ridge shopat 800-243-4570;

I have TC's RB barrels in .45/.50/.54cals and they're outstanding;
I have a GM .58cal RB barrel and it's also excellent(TC doesn't make a .58cal RB barrel)

GM also makes "drop-in" barrels to fit the TC Hawken and Renegade;
I have an old T/C Hawken flintlock (pre QLA),that I use for hunting. It has the standard T/C .50 cal barrel. It will pile round balls one on top of another at 25 yards, but at 50 yds. the groups open up to about 6 inches, andbeyond that really open up.Since I try never totake a shot over 50 yards, I have not worried about it. Could I expect better groups with a slower twist barrel?
