A while back I picked up this used and not well taken care of Thompson Center Thunder Hawk for $20 and just got around to taking it to the range last week. I put the scope on it for another $50. It didn't shoot great but I think it might if I play with the load some more.
The first target was with round balls just to get it to hit the target.
This target I switched to T/C Cheap Shot bullets with the supplied sabots and 80 grains of FFF Goex at 25 yards.
This target was shot after a scope adjustment with the same load at 50 yards.
Same distance with another scope adjustment.
Same distance, load with no scope adjustment. I swapped out the Cheap Shot bullet for a 240 grain XTP for the next 2 targets. And went to 90 grains on this one.
That looked good enough to take the target to 100 yards and fine tune the scope adjustments but after shooting one target at 100 yards and put the charge back to 80 grains. The range started to get crowded so I figured I would finish playing with it some other time.
