    Nice rifles, I’d say 1:40 twist 270 grain projectile, you’ll need more than 45 grains of powder to make it enjoyable!! 3f will be fine. You can’t put to much powder in, it will just waste it out the barrel. Pure lead projectile will bump up into the rifling when you pull the trigger!!
    Never owned a Hawkins, maybe one day
    Boom, cough,cough,cough
