What was the load?
Will you shoot out to 150 and 200 yards?

You were using tow lubricated with mink oil to get that smaller group?

Re: CVA Hawken .58cal Sight In
Good shooting Jon. I love my .58s. I have a caplock with a GM barrel and a flintlock with a barrel made by Bob Hoyt. Both in Renegade stocks. My preferred load for each is 100 gr of goex FFg, a .570 RB and a pillow tick patch (.018") lubed lightly with olive oil. I did have Williams receiver/peep sights on both rifles but in just about all of my hunting situations I replaced them with rear iron sights like those on the Marlin 1895 and a gold bead front sight. The set up makes for a very deadly combination on deer. I want to try it on a PA blackie this season.

Great shooting!
Did the CVA Hawken come in .58, or did you the barrel bored out, etc.?

I have been THOROUGHLY impressed with most of these Factory 1:48 Twist TC Barrels, They are EXTREMELY Capable, they just need a Capable Shooter behind them. I have accurately shot 2 Stock 1:48 Twist TC Riles (a .50 and even a .54 Cal) to 500 Yards

I recently acquired a vintage CVA Missouri rifle, 54 caliber. 1/48 twist, 28 inch barrel.
Looking forward to shooting it soon. Ordered some .530 round balls and pillow ticking.
Soon as that comes in, I'll be up to the range.
