may i ask how old it is ? 1 in 66 is a oldish twist rate and i worry about old guns being fired
if the things ok and not that old ,
.50 cal patch ball ( what i buy if i buy) but not sure of size , i cast a slug with a tail thats .508 unpatched and .495 balls for my patches or some of the newer sabot projectiles should do you nicely
Old semperfi--I thought all the TC Hawkins were one in 48 twist? I bought a .45 cal used about 30 years ago and it was and still is a tack driver with 90 gr. Pyrodex and a 300 grain home cast conical.
I've got a 1:66 on my old T/C Renegade. It shoots round ball amazingly well, and T/C's maxi balls a biy less accurately. I'm not sure what the twist is on the factory barrels, but the original shoots conicals very well. The 1:66 is a Green Mountain barrel.
