Good range day - I'm happy
Took the Renegade 54 cal out today as well as my new stock/GM LRH 50 cal. First pic is the Renegade target. Targets set at 50 yds, iron sights on both rifles.First 5 shots are at 6 o'clock in a tight cluster. No cleaning between shots, 80 gr Pyrodex, wonder wad, PRB. After sight adjustment, next 3 shots circled the bull. Barrel getting dirty.
Swabbed the bore and tried 2 shots with 360 gro T/C Maxihunter. That's 2 of them at the bottom of the target. The 3rd one missed target entirely. Guess I'll be using PRBs in this rifle.

Here is the target from the 50 cal GM LRH. I figured it was sighted in so I only took 3 shot to see how it shot on the new stock. Not too bad. 80 gr Pyrodex, wonder wad, 275 gr T/C Maxihunter.

Well I think this fall I'm going to take the Renegade with me for black bear. That will probably upset my Marlin Guide Gun but I always wanted to take a bear with the ML and the way this rifle shoots, I think a 230 PRB into the lungs will put one down pretty quick.
