Default 54cal hawken report

rear site on now, I can do some real shooting with my 54cal hawken I just finish building,
just an 10yrds site in, off hand on top if it, when I was finally done, 1 ragged hole about 1in high and just a little to the left. I could not believe I shot that thing well enough to do that, I was aim right for the bulls eye,

I used 70grs of pyro rs, win #11 mag, .530 224gr Wheel weight ball, the patch was an 50/50 mix of crisco and borebutter.

on the down side, the main spring is weak and the sear broke. grrrr

I'll get the target posted later tonight
