I've decided to shoot my TC Hawken, actually my brother's TC Hawken that he left with me 35+ years ago and I need some technical advice. First, I want to shoot the equivalent of 100grs. of BP with a Great Plains bullet that I believe weighs 425grs. my handy dandy Lee dipper info says 2 scoops of the 3.4 dipper using FFG weighs 100grs. I have an unopened container of pyrodex R/S that I apparently paid $7.97 for. Should I use the 3.4 dipper to get the equivalent of 100grs of ffg?
I was told this load is safe in the TC Hawken, is it? My brother left me two molds also, one is a round ball, the other looks like a stylized arrowhead and is I guess a maxi ball style of mold. One is a bronze color with a 573 stamped on it the RB is black with a 909 stamped on it and are of the same manufacturer. Did TC offer molds for their rifles and what would the maxi ball weigh?
One more question, what would be a good accuracy load be for the GP bullet and the MB bullet?
Thanks
