Who has had, or still has one?

I picked one up at a good deal and am wondering what are some of your likes & dislikes, tips & secrets, and your favorite loads?!?

Thanks for any feedback!

Got one similar off a member here, Firehawk .58 blued and walnut that is a nice piece. 1in 38 twist. It shot best so far w/260 grain Speers in 45 cal saboted with 80-90 grains ffg. Yours is a 50 so may differ. It didn't like conicals that well and neither did I. Really like the thin wrist on the stock. Mine wears a fixed 2.5x scope and handles well. A little chore to clean but worth it.

Nice stock!
I have a very similar TC Black Diamond. Time consuming to clean. Doesn't do BH 209 in the cold. Other than that, it's great.

Should shoot 240 gr. XTP`s very well with 85-100 pyrodex, my Firehawk .50 that I had yrs. ago shot the 240`s into about 1.25 in. at 100 yds sometimes alot less, killed a pile of deer with it...your gun has the same twist rate so should shoot them also..


hoosieryotekiller-do it w/22-250

A T.C Thunderhawk is all I've hunted with for about the last 10 years.... It's a great gun, killed several deer with it. I bought it used, it is blued with an old school wood stock, and it has the 2 in. shorter barrel. I shoot two 50 grain pellets, behind Hornady 44/240 XTP's, and old as it is, It's still a nail driver. It's never had the conversion kit so it still fires on #11 capps. It's mis-fired one time....at a nice, tall buck! It was the capp,it was a dud.....Great gun.


SHHH.... Be vewy vewy quiet,I'm hunting WABBITS
