Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Cabelas (Investarms) Hawken Carbine .58 Cal.

I'll ask the obvious question, how wide is the barrel across the flats?
That would be a good starting point on how hot to load it.

I think Lyman used to build a 58 Trade Gun on a 15/16 barrel.
Real nice to carry, but a bit skinny for hot conical loads!
