I do not have any Hawken's any more but I have more than a hand full of Renegades that I shoot and look at.

When i am shooting rondie events - use GOEX black powder most often - or well I did but for the last couple of years I have been shooting T7-2f at these events also.

When i am hunting with one I defenitely use T7 but in the hunting situations I shoot T7-3f because of the temperatures that we might hunt in. I also only use #11 magnum caps, there is a regular #11 that is cooler than the mag cap.

BH will work in a percussion side lock if you use the Hubbard as it uses a 209 primer... I think it is kinda clumbersome for hunting but others like it.

Duplexing to shoot BH doesnt make much sense to me as I fear detonation could happen since BH is a Nitro based smokeless powder.

Shockey's or any of the APP powders are very weak grain for grain with other powders. They also tend to grab moisture very easily. There are just better powders out there to choose from.

Cayugad is sort of my goto guy when it comes to shooting a sidelock - percussion or flint. When I need guidance I go there so I defer to anything that hem might recommend.

Seriously get him to post his directions to shooting a side hammer and the things you might want and need.

I shoot round balls, conicals, and sabots from my percussion side locks.
