Just wondering what you guys are shooting in your Renegades. 410 Great Plains wouldn't shoot well, so I might now try the 385 GP's. What charge are you guys shooting? I have both 777 and Pyrodex.
I have had great luck with the T/C Maxiball, 370 gr. I didn't do so well with the Maxi-hunter. I generally shot 90 or 100 gr Pyrodex, and we could shoot clay pigeons offhand at 75 yds. Of course, they were stationary at the time.
Don't forget to try a patch and ball.. they also shoot very well.

I also shoot BullShops from mine but I shoot the 460 grain MTNex with 80 grains of T7-3f. I do also place a .125x.510 shot card between the conical and the powder to insulate the bottom of the conical.

PRB with 80 grains of Goex FFg with a wonder wad. Same load worked well with Maxi-hunters. The wonder wad was really what made a difference for me with accuracy with both PRB and the maxi-hunter. Before the wonderwad my groups were huge and inconsistent, afterwards they shrunk to one to two inches at 50 yards and were consistent. Good enough for me and the deer that I shoot.
Experiment with powder type, powder amount, and projectiles. Try different variables (with and without a wad) and document so you know what works in your gun.
