Range report on the Renegade.
I figured it was time to see what shelikes to eat, and boy was surprised. I was shooting FF 777 and cleaned after every shot. 3 shot groups and I let the barrel cool between shots. Target at 50 yards.
1st. Load- Hornady Great Plains Conical 385gr. Started with 70gr of powder and worked up to 85gr. It shot all over the target, and I noticed a lot of lead on my cleaning patches.
2nd load- Thompson/Center Maxi-Hunter 275gr. Started at 70gr of powder and worked up to 85gr. No lead on patches and 4" group at 85gr was the best it did.
Last load- PRB Hornady .490 with pillow ticking patch cut from strips flush with muzzle. Kinda pressed for time so I loaded with 85gr and shot a 4" group, I bet I can do better than 4"
