Hello friends,
New member and still a rookie with muzzleloaders and blackpowder. I have spent many hours on this forum and others trying to decide on my next rifle.
Last summer I got a good deal on a T/C Hawken .50 cal with the standard barrel. It seemed to shoot okay the few times that I shot it but I spent most of last summer with my centerfire rifles. I now want to concentrate on muzzleloaders, specifically round ball.
I picked up a second rifle, actually a T/C Renegade stock only. Then I came across a T/C barrel, .54 cal with the 1:66" twist. Beautiful bore.
My question is this:
Since I decided to shoot strictly round ball I was going to buy a Lyman Great Plains. Then this deal with the Thompson came along. How does the Renegade with this barrel stack up against the Lyman? I should add that I don't hunt any more, strictly paper plates, etc.
Any opinions are welcome. Suggestions also.
Thank you in advance for your time,
Steve in N CA
