Default RE: How much powder?

The guy at my pro shop said it will work...
this is what I have.
Hawken .50 cal.
100 grainsSelect HogdonPyrodex
TC Cold swagged pure lead balls. 175 grain.
No pellets, only loose powder! and Select will work just fine. It's nothing more then triple filtered Pyrodex RS. This list might help you in getting ready to shoot...
