Default RE: 45 or 50 cal

Roundball-thanks for the info. I am going to call my brother right now and get ahold of his hawken. It will be fun to play with again and get some experience with the new powders. I have a dumb begginners question. What do you mean by pump flush? I am guessing you have water in the barrell and push the patch down, but am not sure.


Also do you have any suggestions on where to start as far as loads/bullets? Again this gun is a .45. Sounds like you really like the Goex. I have no experience with this or 777. Shot a little pyrodex way back when, but it sounds like some of these newer powders are better. I also have only shot round balls (we used to make our own), but would like to try some of the others.

Thanks again for the help.
