I do not have any Hawkens any longer i have switched over to Renegades. In the 50 1/48 I shoot 80 grains T3f - topped with a .125x.510 shot card - then a .503 460 grain Bull Shop Conical. I use Dynimit Noble 1075+ # 11 caps to set the whole works off. I was using T7-2f but it has to large of grains to get our under the nipple. The 3f drops out real well for good ignition even in really cold weather.

Dan is also now making 445 grain UC short conical which would also be a good choice for deer. These are slip fit conicals - you order them to fit your bore - no short starter needed just out them in push them down with you thumb - put them home with the ram-rod.
