I had a .50 Hawken given to me because no one could get any accuracy out of it. I found the Buffalo Bullets, ball-ette, a swaged lead bullet a little heavier than a ball, but with flat sides, to be a good hunting round for this rifle.
The barrel was abused but if I remember right, it was accurate out to 75-80 yards or so with this load,(100 gr bp) and I had no complaints about how it dropped deer. I dont think you can find them now, unless you stumble upon some. Sure wish that company would start manufacturing again. If anyone has some ballets, I love to buy some., and I sure miss their SSB's , another bullet I'd love to find available somewhere.
