I admire your intestinal fortitude. I haven't tried lately. Went to the range Thursday, and was going to take a poke at it, but forgot the target. I could have made one at the range, but I wanted to shoot the TMA bullseye and another target that another org. is using in their postal shoots, so I didn't make one. As of right now, I can't shoot this darn TC Hawken good at all. Hoping by shooting it, I may be able to conquer it. At the last shoot our group had, I only hit 5 out of 14 targets. I'll try it at tomorrows shoot to see if it works any better. Maybe I should do what John recommended, and sell it.

I'm still farting around with powder charges and the same with lubes.
 Just having fun.
 So each time I take a cold bore shot I have some new combo I'm shooting.
 Moving to 3f , gonna take a poke at it Sunday. Weather permitting.
 Probably 50 grains.  Maybe a spit patch or more than likely a damp patch with hoppes BP cleaner/lube. I like that stuff.

As for my TC, well I've been watching Idaho lewis videos on long range PRB shooting.
 Might put some new sights fore and aft on the TC and make her a match gun. ??

I'm not a "stoner" like you guys, but a couple years ago, when I was breaking in my flintlock, I read somewhere that there are several types of natural stone that can be used if flint isn't available. While I don't recall what those were, an online search ought to turn it up. Also I bought and tried some man made rock substitute that looked much like a machined piece of a carborundum stone. It worked just as well as everything else I tried plus the padded jaws of the cock held it securely. Guys, stop napping and get to knapping!  :laffing
