I finally got to the range today and shot the LH Renegade that I bought Gemihur. I was able to get the oversized bullet unstuck by firing between .5-1gr of 777-3F. The bullet only moved about 8 inches, but I was able to pull it out from that point. Harleyboss was gracious to send me some 50-415I bullets to try out. Three were sized to .499 and the other three were sized to .501. The .499 size bullets just slid down the bore from their own weight. The 501 bullets went down with a slight bit of resistance just the way I like it. I dropped one of the 499-sized bullets and it got banged up so I didn't shoot it as I was afraid the little grit I saw on the bullet might scratch the inside of the bore. Both bullets almost hit the same spot. The two holes on the right were my first shots, shooting one of each of the ones Harleyboss sent me. After I adjusted the windage a little and settled down the remaining three bullets went almost into the same hole. My shots were at 50 yards using a load of 70gr of 777-3F and I used a 50 cal felt wad as I didn't purchase any 54 cal wads as of yet. To say I'm ecstatic is an understatement. The only thing I did notice is my shoulder hurts more than shooting my 45 with my 345gr bullets. LOL I may have to get a recoil pad?? LOL
I like the method the Marines taught us to sight in our rifles to point of aim equals point of impact. So If I aim at 6 o'clock that is where I want my bullets to hit. So I need to adjust my elevation to shoot lower as my aiming point is 6 O'clock under the black.
