Thanks once again guys,

Cayugad, When you say eating patches are you refering to burning through the patch? My old TC manual say's that is a result of too much powder and to back off on the load.
I've noticed that Dixie has a large selection of flints at what appears to be resonable prices. Should I stick with the agate style? Pros / Cons?

Why would the manufactures make a frizzen that won't hold it's roughness? Seem's to me that they should replace it if it doesn't work. Or would this beconsidered "Fair wear and tear"?

My TC Renegade only gets to around 110/115. Anything over that results in hammer blowback. It is very accurate at 90 gr Pyrodex RF w/ a 490 balland 015 pre-lubed patch.So my max load in the flinter will most likely fall in the 80-100 range.
