Pedersoli are extremely well made guns.

I have two of the Hawkens Carbines. One is the carbine you mentioned:



This is one of the sweatest little side locks I have ever had the plesure of humping in the woods. I shoot a Barnes Expander saboted bullet and it is a fantastic bullet. I nailed a large doe a few years ago and it went straight down. The through shot looked like a tunnel.

I also have one in .50 cal. that I shoot PRB and it has a twist rate of 1 in 66".
