- I have Armi San Marco Hawken cal. 50 percussion muzzleloader
- which I've built up myself.
- I've shot round .495 balls with 48 grains of black powder.
- No results yet because I haven't had time to test the rifle seriously.
-
- Notice that these are the amounts I use.
- If your rifle decides to explode with these amounts, don't accuse me.
