It's octagon as far as the stock reaches, then tapers to the round barrel for the rest of the distance...

Looks like it should be a good rifle for RB loads. The 250 gr REAL might shoot from a 1:66? I was suprised how well they shoot from my 1:28 GM LRH barrel. I thought as short as they are they would be best from a slower twist.They seem to be a very versatile bullet, as they also shoot great from my 1:48 NewEnglander. I'd like to hear how they do if you try them.

more then glad to give them a try.. what powder charge do you suggest? I am thinking of starting with 70 grains of 3f powder.

I want to know where this UPS man is getting all these guns at he keeps
bringing to your door..Good shooting there anyway...

That's where I'd start too. I'd also use a wad, especially with loads of 85 grains or above.

I usually start out with 75 grains on a .50 cal.since Ikeep a 75 gr measure tied to the shooting pouch.
I try to find a bullet that performs well with that charge, then I can adjust up/down and see how it shoots. For a sidelock I just like loads in that range. Usually easy on the shoulder and still enough power for most of the hunting shots I get (my average shot on deer is probably not much over 50 yards and my longest shot to date is still under 100 yards). I sight in dead-on at 50 yards using the top of the front bead as my aiming point.
Some times I wonder why I even own an inline! I've spent hours and countless $$$$ getting one to shoot out to 200 yards, then stalk to within 50 or 60 yards before I shoot a deer. [&:]

good looking gun cayugad. nice shooting too.

What is the difference between that PA hunter and a Renagade?

Al

The width of the channel and the shape of the barrel. The PA Hunter is half octagon and the rest round.. also it is 15/16th on the flats and the Renegade is one inch.

Congrats on the really nice rifle.It's a good shooter too.
