Have a friend that makes muzzleloaders make me a 54 Hawken style rifle in 54. 1 in 60 twist barrel for round balls.

We are both in Colorado at the moment and he presented me with the gun as a surprise! And I was! What a beautiful and awesome gun! He even brought all the accessories to shoot so we did!A061EC3E-1C9C-46A3-8697-50118326ABA4.jpegEAB9A56F-DEC5-4872-9C1F-E295A897A620.jpeg
 
Real black in ffg at 85 grains and 230 gr round balls. He set up the target at 50 yards and I was a little worried we should have started closer but shouldn’t have been 😁

First shot is at 11 o’clock and just out of black. Second is at 4 o’clock in the nine ring. 3rd at 9 o’clock and in the nine ring. The other two holes are from my friend shooting.

Pretty awesome shooting rifle! Got me excited about shooting again. Can’t wait to give a full session at the range and then hunt something with it.
