Your Renegade is a good quality rifle and .54 caliber is an excellent choice for hunting because the round ball is heavy enough to cleanly take any North American big game. I have taken elk, wild hogs, and a lot of whitetail deer with mine. I use 90-100 gr of 2F behind an 230 gr ball and it has never failed me. A conicle will probably give you a little more range. Experiment with different loads and find what works best for you.
