.56 T/C Renegade smooth bore
A friend's .56 T/C Renegade was the first muzzleloader I ever shot and I finnaly stumbled on one and bought it.Even though it's a musket it was deadly accurate out to 100 yrds. I've been warned I'm gonna have trouble finding round balls for it. Dixie doesn't seem to carry them. Any ideas?

RE: .56 T/C Renegade smooth bore
Yes ball will be hard to come by. Warrens used to make ball of all sizes, but they kind of stopped that I think. Lee Molds are your best bet. A .550 would be about right. That would give you room for a patch. In my .62 caliber smoothbore I shoot a .600 and a .610 ball. Sometimes with a patch, sometimes without. Mine is not accurate to 100 yards, no matter what I have tried. Although that depends on what you call accurate. 40 yards is about max with the smoothbore, but I'd hate to have that 324 grain ball smack me..
