roundball used 275 gr and said they worked in his too.
over years i saw MANY hawkins that 275 shot all over paper and not 1 that shot them well.
in fact, groups were just awful.i never saw bullet shoot so bad as MAXI-HUNTER did in my 4 hawkins .
i had to call factory about it as they make them.
gunsmith at time ,15 years ago, where did time go said ,EVEN THO WE SELL THEM THEY ARE NO GOOD IN THE 1-48 TWIST.
he said,STAY WITH THE 370 MAXI-BALL WITH 80 GRS OF 2F.this is test load they use on most accurate when testing your barrels if you send them in.
he even sent me a copy of test he made with my barrel that i sent in with 2 others that shot 275 maxi-hunters so badly.
he said,NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR
3 BARRELS ,IT IS MAXI-HUNTER 275 .
you must use longer bullets in the 1-48 twist .
