Triple Se7en, I was shooting my Renegade with my GMB .58 caliber today, using 110 grains of Goex FFg a .018 cotton pillow tick patch and mink oil for lube, shooting up the rest of my Hornady round ball. At 35 yards it was cutting one big nasty hole.

Then I got silly and tried to tweek the sight because the hits were just to the right of the 10 ring, and I think I turned it all the wrong way. Thats ok, I burnt off the pound of Goex FFg already and all the Hornady, so it gives me a reason to try the Speer that I bought.

On this rather warm day today, 71ºs ... that mink oil turned to liquid out on the bench. So I would smear the patch and shoot it anyway. I was very pleased with the way it shot. I did not even swab most of the time. I stopped after 16 shots. That 110 grains started to make me flinch when I was doing some free standing shooting....

Man I like this big rifle........
