I guess the only reason I suggest the 1/28 for conicals is that the Whites, which are noted for their ability to shoot conicals, are 1/24. I just started shooting conicals and I am shooting them from a GM LRH barrel 1/28 - I am shooting 460's and they seem to shoot really well from that barrel... I am still learning...
I tried some conicals from one of my1/48Renegade (the old one) and I really could not get a group I was happy with - BUT "and this is a big but" - it was with the old pitted barrel that I have. Thought it might work cause it shoots sabots and 300 grain Gold Dots great. I am going to try later this week with the newer 54. The other thing I have been told by people with a whole lot more experiance than me... the length of a conical can be critical from a 1/48 bore as velocity drops - can not stabilize the longer bullets.
both of my renegades are between 543 and 544.
Yes and I agree with that. I just can not explaine the difference in bore size between a 54 Renegade and a 54 Hawken with a QLA - they slug out out about .540/.541
