If your Hawken uses percussion caps to ignite the powder charge, you may find that the pydrodex pellets will either not ignite, or, hang-fire (delay in powder charge igniting). Pyrodex pellets (and equivalents like White Hots, Triple 7) are designed to be ignited using 209 type shotgun primers, particularly in modern in-line muzzle loaders.
