Well finally got my Renegade barrel out to shoot it today, it was a chopped .50 barrel I did, but sent it to Bobby to be rebored to .54 due to a severe rust/pitting problem it had from previous owners...anyway 1st 5 shots were with 90 gr. Goex 3f and a 535 gr no-excuse, let me say this that load in the now very light Renegade will get your attention, even with a rubber buttpad I mounted on it... got it centered on bull at 40 yds then shot 5 more with 80 gr. of 3f, much better but still a stout load.. ended up with about a 3 in group.. this was at 40 yds off Primos shooting sticks standing... still needs alot of breaking in yet but looks promising, would hate to be a whitetail on the recieving end of those big slugs. will post pics of groups after broke in and get a load worked up.. want to get some big .500 pistol bullets to try in it with a sabot, its a 1:28 twist now...
