more experienced,NO..........just i have ONLY .50 cal hawkins and seen just about everything than can go wrong.usually its BULLET/POWDER that makes this cal shoot crazy.
yes, i have seem WILD things happen with .50 cal hawkins.
just going from a MAXI-BALL to MAXI-HUNTER would shoot all over, drive you nuts.
.50 cal has to shoot right LENGTH bullet to group good.i seen MAXI-HUNTERS put bullet in same hole at 25 yds and miss the target at 100 yds.switch to MAXI-BALL 370 and hit dead on at 100 yds.
