Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Sears 50 cal. Hawken muzzloader.

I did good today at the range. if I kept the barrel clean and got about 1.5" 4 shot group. I did however forget to put powder in it. I took out the nipple and packed powder down the little hole. I imagine I got 20 gr Goex in there and it came out then. An 11 cap didn't do anything expect maybe pushed out the bullet an inch or so. There is a side screw than the gun shop told me to take out and pack it with powder but it didn't work. Oh well , I did good after that and still , just might go back and get that Sears 292. I bet I could get it from $150 down to $ 125. . Seems like a nice gun. Heck, why not? It's a muzzleloader !
