Is there a best caliber for a Hawken style black powder rifle?

I appreciate all the information everyone to the time to share with me.

I made the decision today to go with .54 caliber.
I think it`ll give a bit more energy to topple steel and I don`t see a big cost difference between .50 and .54 caliber balls.

I had the chance this weekend to take a close look at and handle a couple of newer production Great Plains Rifles.

They were nice and I`ve been told they`re quite accurate but there were some things I noted that lead me to conclude that I wouldn`t be completely happy with one.

I`ve ordered a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken from Dixie Gun Works. I`ve found very good info concerning Pedersoli quality and accuracy and believe that I`ll be very satisfied with it.
