The early, and I do mean very first few Renegades had a 1-66 twist I was told. But I have examined and owned a lot of Renegades. All I ever found were 1-48 twist. The ones that had the slow twist were a batch that came out with a Douglas Barrel on them. If I ever found one, you'd have to pry my cold dead fingers off it to get it away from me.

Actually my Renegades shoot patched round ball quite well. I have found of the four I own, not all but some of them are powder sensitive. For instance, I shot one for years with Pinnacle powder. A kind of sugar based powder. Man that was an accurate rifle with Pinnacle powder. Another of mine shoots 777 real good with conicals but not round ball. All of them shoot well with real black powder. Goex, Grafs. Wano, Schuetzen, don't seem to matter ... they just shoot real good with it.

Good luck on your rifle. If its a kit rifle, it most likely has the 1-48 twist.
