.54 Cal TC Renegade STOCK 1:48 Twist Accuracy Test

[eekjellander]

Renegadehunter thank you for the information. I might have to see if I can get a T/A #11 nipple.

Baco sells a Platinum #11 nipple and goes for 1000s or so shots according to Dave the owner who shoots competition and has seen no wear as yet !/Ed

Ox Yoke doesn't list a ,58 cal dry wad. What size wad are you using in the .54?

I am using Ox-Yoke .58s, They say “Lubed”, But I can’t squeeze anything from them? No greasy feel on my hands when handling them. If you are concerned about Lubed Wads possibly Contaminating the Powder, Simply row them up on a Paper Towel and Squeeze them Good, Allowing the paper towel to absorb excess Lube, I do this in my Bench Vise to Wads that i can see are Lubed, it works great

I find Harbor freight sells cheap hole punch sets ($15.00) and I get a metric and a standard SAE set (total cost) maybe $30-35 .00 , my oversize 54 comes from an 11mm using bulk Durafelt for my felt wads . Between these 2 sets you can punch out most any size wads covering most calibers /Ed

The most accurate Rifle and Load in the World is only as Accurate as YOU are Capable of. Flinching is BY Far the Biggest Killer/Destroyer of Accuracy, Many fella’s are to Macho to admit that, But it’s the Truth BELIEVE Me, I struggle with it as well, along with lifting my Head off the Stock, I deal with Both most Everytime i Shoot, I have to train my Brain. Fact is, Not every outing is Great for me either, I don’t always shoot well, I have plenty of Bad outings to go along with the Good

Thanks for preaching the same sermon I've preached for decades!

This was another New Rifle i have never Shot, Old Pre-Warning .54 Cal STOCK 1:48 Twist, Just the way they came from the Factory years ago, The ONLY thing that is NOT Stock is the Sights, I just Set this Rifle up yesterday evening, and Shot it this morning, I bought this Gun New from a Guy on another Forum awhile back.

The Video


Rifle on the Right, the one on the Left is the Old TC Renegade i just shot 500 yards with. Again, BOTH Rifles are Factory Stock EXCEPT the Sights, I have both Rifles Set up with Lyman 57SML Tang Peeps, With Lyman 17 Series Globe Front Sights. Target is 60 Yards

The Evil Twins

The Bullet i chose, This is a Custom Bullet i designed, Called the “i Bullet” I had Tom of Accurate Bullet Molds Cut this Mold for me, I had this design done in .45, .50, and .54 Cal, As you guy’s have seen All 3 shoot SPECTACULAR

They weigh 500 Grains Cast of PURE Lead

This is the first 3 Shots, 60 Yards

I sent 2 More for good measure

Hey Lewis, I just bought a .54 renegade, same Pre warning too, I was wondering if you could give me the specs off your mold to the T, also, did you go brass or iron? You use a .54 wad or 58 wad (I currently have .54s)

IdahoLewis designed the 54-485I mold with accurate molds. I would use the 58 cal felt wads.

I don't own a traditional muzzy but I sure do miss Lewis' input!!
When he was active on here I was close to taking the dive into the "Traditional" hole!!

 

[edmehlig]

We all miss him, he had a wealth of information and was more than glad to share it and back it up with videos.

You don't dive but reach up to catch up ,and it can happen here if you read/practice what you read and shoot lots of others methods (already tried ) and proven . Short cuts to the top !!!/Ed
