Hello guys
I've hunted for over a decade with black powder normally with more modern inline 50 cal black powder guns such as CVA and Thompson Center.
For $300 I recently bought a Hawken more classic looking old school type 50 cal which I have not fired yet. Kind of bought it as a hoot, but I'm considering hunting with it.
What are your thoughts on the feasibility and practicality of hunting with the Hawken vs with a good CVA more modern type?
Also what technical advice do you have about loading this sucker as the process is a bit more complex?
