RE: DUSTED OFF THE THUNDERHAWK
I'll be dusting off my thunderhawk sometime in the next couple of weeks as well. It was new to me last year (handed down from my grandfather). It took a few load combinations to find something that printed well, which turned out to be 70gr FFF and 250gr Shockwave. Others tried: cheap shot, xtp, maxi-hunter. I'd still like to try the Buffalo SSB or find a conical, but at least I have a load I can fall back on now.
I took it out a few times, but ended up not taking anything with it. Hopefully this year I'll get another chance to see what it can do, then I might have to break my roundball gun back out.
