I have a Traditions Buckskinner, which is basically a Hawken with a 20" 1:20 twist tube.
I have had this thing for about 30 years, and I know what it'll do with a GP385, or PA Conical. I've killed critters with both bullets, and they perform well as I am capable of with aging eyes.
I have read differing opinions of balls in fast barrels, and I am thinking about trying them to see for myself.
I'm thinking that somewhere around 40-50 grains of BP, and a ball will be a good training load for The Kid.
I'd already know, but it's about 200° outside right now, and sweat and black powder don't mix ...
Anybody know for dang sure if I should bother with this??
