I have 2 Firehawks and they were my bread and butter ML for years. In 06 Got a Savage MLII and never looked back. My firehawks shot very good. They are 50 cal. I shot mostly 250 SST in sabots for 1st shot and field reload 250+- gr. belted bullets. 2 shots a day for ML hunting is a lot. With the sabots need to swab between shots to load. 85 gr. of 777 was really accurate and I took deer out to 150 easy. Be sure to put a "bra" on any scope as the blow from the open bolt will burn stuff. I'd suggest you try any of the 54 sabot bullets and get to 0 like every shot was 1st shot of day, ie: clean cold barrel. Then see what shoots close in the belted line for field reloads or carry a jag and couple patches and swab after every shot even in the field. My firehawks were extremely accurate and I would still be using them if I hadn't gone smokeless ML. 10
