I have several side hammers and flinters. That Rene is in the top 2 of my favorites. It just plain shoots. With one of my molded 275 grain conical bullets, you can cover a 3 shot group at 100 yards with a quarter and have some room to wiggle. You just don't argue with that kind of shooter. It can certainly shoot better than I can aim it anymore.
Tom sent my little sister Alex a buttload of those 220gr Lehighs. I am assuming they are the ones you were referring to. They sure do the damage. They also shoot fantastically out of that smokeless screaming along at around 2700 fps+. They flew great out to 200 but at around 300 they started to open up a good bit. Just not enough BC for the long shots.
When they are available I will get some of those 230's for the Renegade. Which sabot did you use?
