Buzzard II said:Hello all! My .02 cents worth. My previous WMC in .50 caliber I used a Hornady green sabot and a Hornady XTP 240 grain 44 caliber bullet and 68 grains of Goex 3F. Hot shot nipple and RWS caps. The carbine had a small cheap scope on it, I don't remember which one, probably a Bushnell low power and it shot great. I killed a lot of deer out to around 100 yards. I tried out a lot of bullets with different charges and they all were lousy. It got stolen. I think I'll try to fit the WMC barrel I now have into a Hawken with set trigger. Good luck hunting to all!

Shorten the under-rib about an inch & a quarter or half and it will go right on your Hawken stock. That much of the round part of the barrel will be covered by the fore-end but, no big deal. Certainly wouldn't be worth the trouble to shorten the fore-end to me.
