While browsing the net, I found something that I find odd and am wondering if anyone has any idea's on this.

I just bought a Cabela's "sporterized" hawkens and it shows a Max. RB load of 100gr. of 2f(.54)

I went to the Lyman site and they rate all their 54's to 120 gr. of 2F. If they are indeed both made by Investarms, then why the rating difference.

Any thoughts??? Thanks

I'm getting farther into his blackpowder thing than I thought I would. While at the range the other day, I was talking to a fellow about finding a gun for my 9 year old to shoot. The fellow ups and gives me a .50 CVA St. Louis Hawkens!!! Said he got it for nothing in a trade and was wasting away in his closet, felt my boy would get more use out of it than he would. The boy was grinning like a possum in a presimmon tree when I told him it was HIS gun, of course Dad will have to do a little playing with it himself,hehe.
