Lazarus.Are you talking about a percussion pistol with a round ball?Don't know that that is such a good idea.The Hawken will work great.I assume it is 50 caliber.I killed my two largest bucks with a Thompson sidelock.They are slow twist and won't shoot straight with as much powder as the newer faster twist rifles but will shoot 60 or 70 grains OK.I killed both bucks with 60 grains of Pyrodex and a Hornady 250 grain XTP hollow point and sabot.Neither deer went over 60 yards.And it is about a 100 yard shot max. proposition.Good Luck
