Traditions St.Louis Hawken ( Kit Gun I did years ago ) .54cal 1:48 twist, 70gr 3fg Gearhart-Owen, .020" patches, .530" round balls @ 50 yards.

I got this one back up and running today! Hardest part, loading up the shells lol. Shoots awesome, even out to 50 yards.

When I pull out the real, worlds most powerful handgun, that could blow your head clean off..... :chuckle: My newly re-barreled CVA Mountain Pistol with a .54cal 28" barrel.

Went very well for us in Colorado! 2 doe tags and a buck tag were filled. We had 2 cow elk tags, but due to the heat, we were unable to find them and decided to pull out 2 days early and get all the deer processed. We did all the processing ourselves and ended up with 163lbs of yumminess! All 3...

I bought some Bridgers Best patches the other week and wanted to give them a try in my Traditions St.Louis Hawken .54cal. I was shooting from 60 yards and used 80gr gearhart-owen 2fg, .015" patch lubed with bear paws patch lube and home cast .530" round balls. 5 shots total and i am pretty...

Just got this one completely finished today!

Arrived safely! A Doc White, in the white kit gun. I've already started by inletting the barrel channel larger and then proceeded to bed the tang and barrel for a nice weather resistant sealed fit. Any tiny little wood splinters, I shaved or sanded away before bedding it. By the time its fully...

"The rendezvous is calling you so bring your guns and steel!" Maybe it's just my wishful imagination thinking for me but it seems like the weather may be warming up just a smidge. And like the mountaineers holed up in winter camp this brings my mind to one thing: Rendezvous!!!! Indeed it is...

Not bad! I had rebarreled my Traditions St.Louis Hawken about 1 1/2 months ago and ended up using a CVA Hawken .54cal barrel. Today I finally sat down and took my time, swabbing the bore between each shot, letting everything cool down, seating the patched round ball consistently on the powder...

Process works with any lube that melts.

Just looking for some comparisons to my load. Chrony set at 15 feet Traditions St.Louis Hawken, 28" barrel, .54cal. .530" round ball 2fg Gearhart - Owen Black Powder. No swabbing was done and I did 3 shots each. 80gr - 1,474 FPS 90gr - 1,580 100gr - 1,663 Next time, I plan on swabbing...

Done! Made the staples myself out of a coat hanger, flattened them, heated then up and put a twist in them. A little wood glue for some support and they tapped into the horn and wood base plug nicely. The base plug & spout I lightly torched for some age and color. A hand rubbed coat of linseed...

Testing my reworked ( Originally was 2fa Artillery powder ) 3fg powder today. 50 yards with my Traditions Hawken Woodsman .50cal. 70gr 3fg, .020 patches and .490 round ball. Happy? You can't wipe the smile off my face! 4fg Gearhart Owen in the pan. Instant ignition. Its been a long while...

I did this test a little while back when the weather was still warm :D Ok, went back out again, exact same load but I used the larger 4 1/2" red bullseye to aim at. Without a doubt this is a guaranteed accurate load! First shot I swabbed the bore completely clean, and as it shows, its aprox 1...

Built this one for a friend of mine over the winter. Just went slow, enjoyed and took my time. I installed actual traditional sights ( not the plastic factory stuff ) a new Hotshot nipple & flash cup. Fully bedded the barrel and tang. She is rock solid! The stock has a 600 grit finish, 10...
