I have three guns set up the way you are talking.
This first one is a TC Renegade with a 32” 45 cal Green Mountain barrel, 1-18 twist. It has a Lyman 57 SML peep, a Lee Shavers globe front sight with a level. The load for this gun is 80 gr of Pyrodex P with a Paper patched 459-405-HB, and an overpowder wad.


This one is a TC Renegade with a Stainless Steel 50 cal Green Mountain barrel, 1-28 twist. It has a Lyman 57 SML peep, a Lyman 17 AML globe front sight with Lee Shavers inserts. The load for this rifle is a Hornady 410 gr with 100 gr of pyrodex select RS


This one is also a TC Renegade with a Stainless Steel 50 cal Green Mountain barrel, 1-28 twist. It has a Lyman 57 SML peep, a Lyman 17 AML globe front sight with Lee Shavers inserts. This is my Son’s rifle. The load for this rifle is a paper patched 500 S&W bullet by my Lee 501-440-RF Mould, and it weighs 460 gr. It uses 80 gr of Pyrodex P with an over powder wad. Ron








This pic shows the difference between a paper patched bullet and a naked one.

Idahoron,

Regarding the paper patched bullets, I take it that you cast and patch them yourself. That sounds very interesting. Some time when you can devote some time to it, I would enjoy (and I suspect others also) a thread about how to make them.

The purpose of the paper patch ... is it to prevent leading and used without lubrication of any kind?

Fabulous groupings on those 100 yard targets. I've been thinking about getting a 45 GMB fast twist myself (to start). But then of course there would have to be a 50 cal. to follow some day.

I already have an old post saved that I posted a while back. I will put it up. Ron
