I have a 12-year old .54 Cabela's Hawken. It has the 1 in 48 twist and I have never been satisfied with accurcacy with either a ball or conical. Over the years I have played with it some and I have had some success with improving accuracy but +5" groups at 100 yards just is not going to get it for hunting. At least not what I prefer for a clean kill.
I need to replace the barrel.
My intent is to stay with .54 so all the jags and brushes will fit and get a slow twist (1 in 60 to 1 in 80) for shooting round balls. Where can a guy purchase such a barrel that would be a drop in replacement for the Cabela's Hawken?
