Send em to me if you don't want em. They are smaller diameter for revolver nipples, but I'd bet they'll touch off the charge in your T/C Hawken. I have the exact same rifle and I have shot it with 10's before and nary a problem.

I could never get them to fit on my rifle nipple...only pistols. May or may not work...worth a try!

I get inconsistent results with them on my Pedersoli due to them not seating all the way on the nipple.
Take 'em to the range and try 'em. IME, if they doent seat snug you'll get misfires.
Be a shame to lose a trophy over $7.00 worth of caps.

Seems to be inconsistent sizing between manufacturers also.
