Default RE: What is a good load for a Hawken .54 caliber?

What do you wan't to hunt with it? If hunting deer with the PRB 100yds will be your maximum shot with the Roundball. Your rifle can also handle a number of good conicals. If you buy pre-lubed conicals you do not need a patch and they are easy to load. I would try the 425gr Hornady Great Plains Conical. You do not needa patch with those. The have a hollow point for maximum expansionon deer.

Here is a good place tobuy from. Scroll down and below the roundballs are the Great Plains Conicals. http://www.possibleshop.com/ball-bullet.htm
