Although it was a tad breezy this morning, I decided to take my Renegade to the range with some 200 grain .45 XTPs.
They hit + 1&9/16ths at 50 yards. The 230 and 250 grain XTPs both hit to point of aim in earlier trips, so... MULTI LOAD ZERO! No windage adjustments necessary.
' tis a BEAUTIFUL thing indeed!
The 200s, due to their short bearing surface, loaded easily compared to the 230 and 250s.
Found one, sans jacket, and an inch across! 70 grains of 3f Swiss has them... exceeding their design limits just a tad? Haven't chrono'd them yet, but I wouldn't be surprised by 1700 fps. Give or take.
Nasty...
Groups were excellent! I was a bit punchy by the 3rd group, as I had put 10 through one of my Pennsylvania Hunters before grabbing the Renegade.
Her smallest 3 rounder was 3/4". The largest, with a called flyer, was 1 15/16ths.
Except for the aperture sight and replacement vent liner, this is a bone stock .50 Renegade flintlock with a 1-48 twist.
GADS! THIS IS FUN!!!
