T7,
I have a T/C Firehawk .58 inline (1:38) with a 3x9 scope mounted on it that I shoot patched round balls through. I have tried Pyrodex RS, Triple 7 FFg and Goex FFg black and it prefers the taste of Goex the best. I shot a doe with it some years back. She came through on a trail about 50 yd. above where I had placed my climber and stopped broadside so I poked a .570 rb through her lungs. She spun around and ran about 35-40 yds. and flopped. I later found some lung matter on the tree behind where she stood when I squeezed off the shot! I don't hunt with it anymore because I'm just not into inlines but maybe I should get it out and play with it again for grins. Tried .58 Maxi's in it once and only once... too d@mn punishing to shoot!
I also have a T/C .58 Hawken I bought two years ago that's never been fired.
