I use 80gr of Goex 2F, .015 pillow ticking patches, and either a .490 or .530 RB in my .50 and .54 Renegades with great results. I also have some Goex 3F that I’m gonna try to work up some loads for my .50s as soon as I can get to the range. Probably will end up between 70-80gr too.

No worries, just shoot what you have on hand, I’m sure they will work just fine. Later on you can experiment with patch thickness to see what gives the best accuracy.

I think all guns deserve to be shot and I don't believe it is very collectible so I say shoot it. Just make sure you clean it properly before putting it back in the safe. I'd start with 80gr of Pyro or Goex, .490 RB, and .015 patch. Good luck and have fun.

I have several CF rifles and calibers to choose from, but the one I use the most is my Rem 700 in 7mm-08 topped with a Leupold 3-9x40 scope. Worked well this past season for me as usual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s an update to the thread for anyone who gave suggestions. I ended up going with a T/C front and rear fiber optic sight setup for my .54 Renegade. I went to the range today and I am very happy with the results and I believe I am ready to chase some deer with it. I also got a set of R.M.C...

Thanks for the suggestion, I checked out their website and they have some interesting options. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I figure a competent gunsmith could fit it for me, but I’ve been wanting a T/C Hawken to go with my Renegades anyway. Seems like a good excuse to pick one up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for those recommendations. Maybe after the holidays I’ll pick one up. Gun works has a used Hawken I’ve been looking at with a brand new 1:66 .54 barrel on it for sale in very good condition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is kinda what I was thinking. I thought there was a chance it would work, but I also figured that 1/16” could cause major issues. I guess I’ll keep looking or maybe just get a Hawken later on. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been looking around for a slow twist .54 drop-in barrel for my Renegade and all I have found is 15/16” barrels. As you know Renegades typically use 1” barrels. That’s only a 1/16” difference, but that could have a big impact on performance. Can I use the 15/16” barrel on my Renegades or...

A quick update on my search for a better hunting sight for my Renegades. I was lucky enough to find a T/C fiber optic sight (#7758) BNIP in stock online so I bought that instead of the Williams. I was shocked when I found it because all my google searches came up dry. I’m gonna try to get to the...

Thanks for the link, that skinner sight is very interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m looking to upgrade the sights on my renegades and I need some recommendations. I will use the sights for hunting in the southeast and no more than 50-100 yards. I am considering Williams fiber optic or possibly peep and globes by Lyman. What are your experiences with hunting sights and are...

Congrats, I really miss huntin on Quanah. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What an awesome buck, congrats Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one can of real BP, but I save it for my flintlock. When I bought this can at the closest BPS to me, which is 2 hours away, they said they were dropping real BP. That was like 2 years ago and I haven’t been back to confirm. In the past I’ve had good results with Pyro RS at the range up...

I don’t know, it does say Thompson Center, it doesn’t have “Renegade” or the warning statements though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No it doesn’t have a k, just numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I went to the range today to see how the thorough cleaning I did and the tips I learned here would work out. I’m happy to report that I had no hangfire issues at all. The only thing I need to fix now are the sights. I replaced the originals with some Williams fiber optic sights I had laying...

Thanks for the info, I’ll check out the Treso/Ampco nipples. I had no idea the nipples needed to be replaced so often. With this rifle being new to me I have no idea how old or how many shots are on the nipple that came with it. I am going to the range again today so I will use your suggestions...
