Default RE: What is Max powder for a 50 cal Hawkin?
My book shows the max load is 110 grains of 2f powder for that rifle. My Hawkins shoots 90 grains of Goex 3f with a patched roundball and the accuracy is excellent. I use 4f as the pan prime. This would be a lethal load for about anything I would want to shoot...
