The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

I have a .54 cal Gemmer Hawkin with a 1:60 twist. I'm shooting round balls out of it and cannot get it to even hit paper at 100 yards. At 50 yards I'm touching holes. I missed three elk at 100 yards on the last day of the season so I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out how to get this thing to shoot accurately. I found 90 grains of powder of 777 has been the best for 50 yards but want someone else's thoughts!

Alright so it was a kit? Put a laser beam in your muzzle and 25yd check on sights. Otherwise, try .535 patches and generous bore butter.

My old 94 30-30… fun to shoot even if it’s just punching paper. Was my first “big” game rifle, gifted (already well worn back then) from my god father 55 or so years ago and took my first deer and hog with. Hmmmm…maybe it won’t rain tomorrow!

Handed down from my Dad, a browning bar 270 grade 1. 1974 never fired. Got a scope mounted just waiting for some time to go sight it in.
