Default RE: Conical for T/C .54 Caliber Renegade

With a good shooting 54 a round ball [.535]and heavy ticking patch greased with bore butter and 110gr RS is what I used for many years I took deer [27] bear [2] and a half dozen boar [that was before I moved to AR and I had to travel a long way to hunt boar, it dropped a lot of the deer and most of the boar on the spot and even the bear did not go far. If you just like conicals then try the real bullet they grouped almost as good as the round ball for me, a lot of people dont get round balls to shoot as good as they can you have to use tough patches and patch them tight enough that the rifleing are pressing the patch material hard enough to mark the ball well and the groves should show some but you can not over do it or you will cut the patch material.
