I believe Barnes warns that occasionally 1:28 won’t stabilize their 290 or 300 grain bullets in 50 cal.

Been there, done that! The 2-7x Vortex Diamondback now resides on a Ruger 10/22 while my Thunderhawk now wears a 2-7x Leupold Freedom.

At 70 grains of T7 per charge, a bottle costing $35, 35 cents a charge. That’s a steal, the only additional cost being a bit of cleaning.

Here in NW Pa, I’m still seeing some with antlers in the fields. My Dad is reporting the same for northern OH.

I happen to have one. Came in a tackle box full of muzzleloading odds and ends I was gifted. PM me your info and I’ll mail it to you.

I believe the Greyhawk is a 1 in 48 twist. It might not stabilize a projectile as long as the TMZ. Like Deermanok said, maybe round balls, or if you want to use a sabot, maybe a 250 gr XTP. Since you already have the TMZ’s, give them a try, but be ready to try something else.

At this point, I still have the stock front sight (blade). It will likely be too low for this setup (as it was with the stock rear sight when trying to sight in at 50 yards shooting a prb). Since the application is hunting in the dim woods of PA, I want to find a fiber optic front sight, or...

I’m going to second this. The bar doesn’t move when adjusting for wind age, just the peep. I’m doing the same thing on my 54 Renegade. On mine I have juuuust enough clearance for the elevation “bar” to clear the stock. I’m going to have a gunsmith do the drill & tap on the tang

I’ve tried a few different loads in my Thunderhawk and the most accurate is a 230 grain lehigh cf in a crush rib sabot over 95 grains of 2f 777.

It might be a while. I emailed Williams back in early fall about the 1340 and they got back to me and said they were doing a run shortly and would have them available in about two months. They were available on the Williams website for around $80 in December. I thought I’d wait until one of...

I use one of these for my Thunderhawk: https://muzzle-loaders.com/products/thompson-center-u-view-209-capper

Regarding the Williams FP, I have also been looking for one for my 54 Renegade and sent an email to inquire to Williams near the end of August. Their COO replied and said they would be back in stock in about 6 weeks. Should be anytime…I hope!

Welcome from NW PA.

I'm looking forward to playing with a variety of loads with this rifle after the season is done. I;ve only shot 70 and 80 grain loads of black thus far...I started low as I had read that accuracy can suffer with larger loads with PRB's in 1 in 48 twist. duplexing the loads is a good idea, I...

I don’t have access to a chrono. I was using data from TC’s handbook and knocking it down a bit as I had read they are overly optimistic with their numbers. They had 1654 fps for that load (80 grains of black). I hoped to be in the ballpark, but it doesn’t seem like it! Sure wish I could find...

I only plan to hunt whitetail with this gun. I agree that this is good enough precision for hunting deer, however I really dislike the sight. I won't change it out this year, but I might in the future. I read some discussion on the forum recently about some fiber optic options appropriate for...
