Default 2nd Time Shooting .54 Renegade

Was able to get out this morning and shoot the Renegade. Moved the target out to 50 yards. I would like to eventually have this gun sighted in at 100 yards. So each time I'll move it out 25 yards. This first three shots were with .10 thick patch lubed with TC Bore Butter. I was all over the place. Deceided to try .20 patches. They were alittle tight but as you can see my groups shrunk alot. The left and right issue was me adjusting the scope. I'm alittle high, but I think at 75 yards it will be dead on and a little low at 100 yards. Still only using 80 grains of Pyrodex. I really don't know If i need to increase the charge. For alittle fun I placed a FROZEN milk jug at 50 yards. Not only did the round ball blow right through the jug, but turned the soild ice into crushed ice. So far been impressed with it. Still trying to figure out a better way to clean the barrel with less of a water mess.
