Befoer my T?C hawkin lost all accuracy, it has been shooting power belts (no scope) for three years and have had excllent results this year have noticed the accuracy fadeing wasn't nothing to do with the bullets or load just found out last week that the reason the accuracy had left the barrel was due to the practice of a fiberglass ram rod thats been on it for 20 odd years it finally eroded the muzzle oval this rile barrel has many many round balls shot through her and allways conducted herself flawlssly sent the barrle back and now shooting good again the barrel has a 1:48 twist, a friend shoots power belts in his lyman great plains hunter 1:32 twist and gets real great groups.
next spring going to buy a t/c ecore with a 209x50 to hunt with.
