I guess another question might be what do you want to shoot from you Renegade?
I have several of them and have shot a lot of round ball and sabots from them very effectively. I have NOT shot many conicals at all, but there are a lot of them out there. And I would say say most of the best ones are not made by a major manufacturer but by home casters...
I have some real good luck shooting PRB's from the each of the Rene's that I have used. I do use a treated felt wad because I shoot T7 powder which will/can burn a hole in the patch...
This target is a conical target...
This is a new bullet that I ordered from Lehigh Defense makes and it was designed to be short enough to be able to be shot from a 1-48 twist. It works really well
