Since Sabotloader has been pounding his Renegade out at 50 yards, I decided to take my .50 caliber Renegade out. Its only the second time I have had a chance to shoot it. I figured it was like my other Renegades, they liked a strong powder charge. So I loaded 90 grains of Pyrodex RS a cast .490 ball, pillow tick patch, moosemilk lube and RWS caps.



I held a six o'clock hold on the red bull. The first shot on a clean barrel was the lowest. The next two hits were right in there too. I then realized that this rifle shot dead on. So instead of adjusting the sights, I adjusted the sight picture and took a dead hold on the bulls eye.

The next five was using a full cover hold, splitting the red bull almost in two. The gun shoots just a little to the left, but I am not ready to adjust the sights yet. I was swabbing with alcohol between shots. I was more then pleased with that group. I also shot two without swabbing the barrel. And they did come out of the group on me.



I also had a chunk of deer salami that turned freezer burned on me. I had to throw it away somewhere, so I cut chunks about the size of a soda can. I set then back on the steel trap which was 80 yards away. I held dead center on them chunks of salami and you might say, I smoked that salami twice.



the Doctor told me not to walk in the woods because of my knee and back, but he never said anything about riding the ATV... it was a lot of fun today.
