How many grains of powder? If its a Hawken you have a round ball twist. 1 in 48? With my TC Hawken I shoot 100 grains of trip 7 and prb's and it shoots pretty darn good. But not as accurate as the inlines for sure.

Need more details.  What powder and how much, what patch thickness and lube, what ball size, etc.  What distance is is zero'd at, and where were you hitting at 50 yards?

ok...took me a minute, but I figured out what is meant by "prb".  For those wondering:  prb = patched round ball

I wonder why the "p" is necesary though. Who shoots round balls without a patch?  ???
