RE: .50 Hawken load for teen..........
No worries about the moose the .54 likes 100 gr FFG .530 ball and .018 patch from a GM 1-70 barrel.I'm scoping them all as the eyesight is slipping yearly.I will try some light .50 loads for the boy and see how he holds up.He had no problem hammering away 1/2 box of 45-70 300gr factory loads in a Marlin Guide gun.The .50 liked a 80gr charge of FFG and the Maxi-ball..............Harold
