First, he gets a .36 or .40 Hawken (?) early on and Redford says, "Well at least it is a Hawken." Later he gets a .50 Hawken off a frozen corpse.

Hello Adam....right you are! The narrator in the beginning says "He settled for a .30, but damn....it was a genuine Hawken!"
I don't even think the Hawken brothers made a .30 cal rifle.....this has been bandied about on other websites, and the best explanation I have heard is that it was a typo in the script that wasn't caught.
I'll have to watch the elk hunt scene again for the priming the caplock with a powder horn.
There is also a scene somewhere in the movie where he gets two shots out of the gun w/o reloading.....don't remember where it is, though.

Nope....no difference to the 'untrained' eye, but it's fun for folks such as ourselves to find stuff like that.....like when lugers turn into P-38s and then back again in WWII movies. Just gotta remember that it's for entertainment and not a historical record, that's all!
