I thought this would make a good Thread Topic. See what peoples views n opinions, facts , pros, cons. Why would you want a .50 or why you maybe weeding out the .50's from your stable.
I will start n i have had a few in my time through the years. I had a T/C Hawken back in the 70's in a .50 cal. Being young n gulible. I looked around n the ads n others were blowing the horn, the .50 was best thing since sliced bread. I saw the loading charts in the booklet n thumping my chest loading up 110 gr 2 F shooting. Umm back then it took alot for brusing to show up on me. No matter i was tuff stuff, a good friend wanted one so i sold him mine. I went back n got myself a .54 Renegade, i was just plumb ignorant. Years have went by n i wanted a Flintlock, i could not find one in a .45 i could afford. I did find a Traditions Woodsman Hawken rock sparker in a .50 n i have it almost new. I also had/have a .45 Hawken T/C & a Scout .45 rock sparker i am trying to get shooting to suit me. Which do i like all of them but the .50's n .54 kick the snot out of me. I like shooting the .45's much more. Some time in the future i am thinking of reducing my stable some slowly
