Use the same amount of Pyrodex as you would regular Black Powder or as stated in the manual. The answer depends on what type of shooting you are doing. You would load maximum load if you want to kill a deer. Are you loading a round ball? OR a sabot round with a hollow point? I have another brand of Hawken .50 caliber and I load 90 gr. I use a .490 round ball with a patch that is 0.010 inch thick. Less would be acceptable if you are shooting at short target range. You should try various types of loads and patches and bullets with each gun to see what gives you the best accuracy OR the best knock-down power. You can always start loading the same amount of grains of powder as the caliber of the rifle. Start with 50 gr and fire some test rounds. The old codgers had a rule of thumb. Place the ball for the rifle on a table. Pour powder over it until the powder piles up high enough to completely cover the ball. Scoop it up and measure the amount.

What year was a Thompson center hawken made with the serial number of 99451 and how much would it be worth?
The Hawken's are greatly undervalued now due to the new in-line guns and slump in the mountain man and rendezvous events, They are a very well made and accurate gun and USA made, depending on condition and caliber they sell in the 100 to 350 +/- range, with kit guns (serial # preceded with a "K") and .45 caliber in the low end and flintlocks and .54 caliber bringing the high dollar. A .50 caliber caplock in 90% condition generally sells in the 200 range. Retail on a new in the box presses the $600 mark As for when it was built, there is no published date codes but the number would put it in the early to mid 90's
