My ex's stepdad loaded a CVA Hawken with Pyrodex and then had to have a pacemaker. He died 12 years later and her mom gave me the rifle. One cap, one trigger pull and the rifle fired with all the authority a 90 grain charge should have. I say 90 grains because that's what his powder measure was set on.
