Default The Virtuous Cousin Is A BIG Girl Now

Arrived home this evening from a week away and found a .58 caliber Green Mountain barrel waiting for me. This is the one I bought to fill the Virtuous Cousin's empty stock. Had to cut 1/8" off the under-rib, but that's already taken care of and the barrel is resting comfortably in the Renegade stock.

I now have what I consider the perfect Renegade collection - a .45 LRH, a .50 LRH, a .54 slow twist, and a .58 slow twist.

Guess which one I'll be shooting next week end?

I know which one I would be shootin. You need to shoot some gongs or maybe a piece
of sheet metal,just so you can hear that big chunk of lead slap something.I know you'll
have fun with BIG Bore.

When you fire that big bore you will really understand the appeal of them. Accurate and hard hitting.

Well I stuck 100 .575 balls and a can each of FFg and FFFg GOEX in the shooting bag. I'm heading for the hunting lease Friday evening and will be making a lot of smoke Saturday.

My motto is "shoot `til you can't shoot no mo`, or until the sun goes down - whichever comes first".
