Went to the range today as ordered! took the old renegade .50 1/48bbl. 460gr no excuses (borrowed from a buddy. .503s 80gr t7 fff. shot at 50meters, 1st from clean bbl, flyer 6in rt. next 4 1 1/2, then a flyer after swabbing twice w/alcohol patch then 2 dry patches. the next opened up to 2in group then the next one 1in low. then I tried a 460gr bullshop .504 had to pound it down the bbl over 70 gr t7 fff shot 6 to 7 in high from point of aim. One more .503 over 70gr t7fff back in the group. Them big bullets sure get my attention!! Going to try a lighter powder charge next time. I think 70gr be plenty.

Do you have any wads/cards to place between the conicals and the powder? It might really make a difference. I too have tried the conical out of the Renegade. I shoot .54 calibers. Mine shoots conicals well but with 70 grains of powder. I find I can not push the conicals too hard or they start to spread all over the place.

the first two shots were w/out wads the rest had ox-yoke wonderwads .50cals. This rifle has a tang peep. it is the one i'm waiting for the 28in gmb for. Just thought I would try a few big ones with. I don't think those big bullets need that much powder. I'm going to get some swiss 3f and try 70grs of that next.

How come school wasn't this much fun?
If it were I would have paid more attention in class. lol
Good shootin!
