Had to go to kalamazoo, mi today. Favor for my daughter. Stopped at th gun shop, as they have lots of BP supplies. Looking around, had an hour to kill. All kinds of good stuff, looked for a .36 or .45 older TC. Damned if I didn't find one!! .45 Tc hawken in excellent shape. Happened to have my bore light w/me. Now I have no room in the safe at all Any one reccomend a load or loads for one of these?? Probably need new balls now!! Just finished giving it a good scrubbing, the .45, I mean!!

Congrats on the new gun.

Happiness is a full gun safe

thumper you had me worried there until that last explanation..

I have a friend that has hunted deer for over 30 years with a T/CSeneca (I believeis his model).45 caliber rifle shooting roundball. He always shot 80 grains of Goex 3f and a patched roundball. He never seemed under gunned and got his deer almost every year with the thing.

Why's that Thump - the wife find out about the new gun?

Semi; Its because I don't have any .45 cal balls! I did pick up a box of TCs .45 maxis, 270gr I think, they had some 320 maxihunters too. Also they had a scope base (old style 9930) if I remember right. They also had at least 3 bases for round bbl tcs. New englander, PA hunter, that take the weaver style rings!! So anyone is interested I can get the info or the bases and send them. cost+ shipping. They were around $15.00 or so, less than $20

Are these bases the off set for the Englander and the Penn Hunter? If they are I'd be interested in them.

Dave; sent you a pm
