sbuff Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Is it a fire hawk ? All ammo is hard to find currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luberhill Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yes it’s a Fire Hawk .. I see tons of ML ammo on the shelves .. 45 and 50 I don’t see ANY 54 Thats why I wonder if it’s an odd ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachunter Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I have a tc renegade in .54 cal. It’s becoming my favorite shooting gun lately. You can get round balls for it anywhere that sells muzzle loader stuff. If you want conicals look up “no excuses” they really pack a punch.

SpacemanSpiff Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 My dad has a side lock Thompson Center .54. It packs a punch, before all the nonsense projectiles were easy to come by for the .54. Now its all hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice 1/38 twist in a fire hawk https://www.grafs.com/catalog/category/categoryId/3403 https://www.muzzleloading-bullets.com/product/54-caliber-535-grains/ Edited January 28, 2021 by sbuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 My Hawkins a .54. Shoots buffalo bullets best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splitear Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 .54 is fairly common, I know a few guys who use .54 Renegades. I checked, and it didn't look like Track of the Wolf had much other than round balls, but October Country has a few options for projectiles. I'm sure you'll find plenty of options. Good luck with it if you end up with it (I don't know if that's the goal or not). https://www.octobercountry.com/balls-bullets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbuff Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Really the 1:38 is supreme with a conical. As mentioned you can get 1:38 to shoot other projectiles well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 .54 is much more common in sidelocks than in inlines. When inlines first came out both .50 and .54s were common, but overtime .50 inlines have become more prevalent. You still should not have any problem finding sabots/ etc. for a .54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I have a couple of 45 cal sidelocks that have presented problems obtaining projectiles in recent years, almost everything is geared toward 50 cal these days. The problem was easily solved by purchasing a bullet mold and casting bullets myself and not for a lot of money. Not hard to master at all, just do it in a well ventilated area. Lead is pretty easy to find and purchase. Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouse Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The .54 caliber ML is popular out west for hunting big game like Elk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The .54 was alot more popular before inlines came out, but at least I think in the east .50s inline have become a bit of the standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
