Default RE: .50cal Renegade Questions



That's my Renegade with a 1x32mm scope on it. That is a stainless steel 1-28 twist barrel made by Green Mountain Barrel Company. I honestly believer that with a good scope of magnification, I could shoot sabots as well as any inline rifle out there. Right now I shoot 100 grains of Pyrodex RS and a .44 caliber 300 grain Hornady XTP in a green harvester crushed rib sabot.


To clean lead out of a barrel get a bore brush, patches, cleaning jag, solvent, and gun oil. Saturate a patch with solvent. I like Hoppies or Bore Scrubber. Even brake cleaner will work. Then swab that bore and get it good and saturated with the solvent. Now put the brush on. Dip that in the solvent. And push all the way to the bottom of the breech and back up. I never scrub with the brush on as it will wear down the bristles. Also as the brush goes down the bore it follows the lands and grooves and removes any deposits in there. Pull the brush back out, and check to make sure it is tight as they will turn loose. Dip it again, and do the same thing. Now put on a cleaning jag and saturate a patch with solvent and swab the bore of the barrel. If there is any fowling, it will be out. Now dry patch the barrel until dry and clean. Now apply a good quality gun oil to a patch and swab the bore of the rifle with that oil patch. You are good to go now.
