Overall, the TC barrel was pretty damn accurate with a PRB.
That's interesting. I say that because my .54 GM 1:70 stacks PRB right on top of the other at 50 yds with 80 gr of FFg and .018" patch. If the Renegade does 1/2 as good I will be happy. The only reason I got this Rene is to use during PA's primitive season where only flintlock and open sights are permitted.
