The .54 Flinter Hawken is my October deer rifle.

I just finished a nice afternoon range session with the .54 Hawken flinter preparing for the PA October deer season. I shot roundball ahead of 75 grains of 3F Goex, Maxis ahead of 75 grains of 3F Goex and .45 caliber JHP bullets and sabots ahead of 90 grains of 2F Goex and all printed on point of aim within an inch of each other at 100 yards with the same sight setting.

I had one "flash-in-pan" for 40 rounds fired all afternoon. I like flinters and am happy with the .54.
