Some time ago I got a new gm lRH ( long range hunter) 1:28 twist drop in barrel for my t/c hawken,,and I never did anything with it didn't care for the cvs inline so ,,,,,,,today I got the tc all set up ,,,I started with 80 gr of 777 ff powder ,,,,,but I used t/c cheap shots they are 240 gr lead hollow pt sabot,,,,yes in a side lock too!! Once I got it on paper,,,wow what I nice shooting rifle!! This has been my go to deer gun since 1979! Can't tell how many lbs of black powder I shot through that gun and I killed deer with it for many years till the original barrel just wore out ,,,,dang I'm so glad to have this hawken shooting proud again,,,,better than ever,,,it was cold today in the twentys I was shooting 3" groups at 75 yards,,,and it's only going to get better ,,,,the romance is back on so the wind up is ,,,,,,,777 and t/c cheap shots are great!! Thanks jeffw
