Yup, Ruger cap & ball over 35grs of Triple7 with a 220 grain conical bullet (not a round ball). I've heard of other hunters using this combo and having no trouble taking out a deer. under 50 yards it shouldn't be too much of a stretch. I do have a Hawken rifle and I may bring it along just in case I only get a longshot oppertunity. I was thinking 90 grains of black for the rifle...is that too much? I keep getting different opinions on how muck powder for the Hawken. A friend on the net uses 60 grains and that apparently works very well, and you stated the same thing so I guess I'll try 60grs.
