I agree that a .54 roundball is devastating on deer, but the .58 is my favorite. That could be because the .58 Green Mountain barreled Renegade that I use is a very well balanced rifle and an absolute tack driver. I have shot 6 or 7 deer with it and all but 1 were dead in their tracks and the one that ran didn't go 40 yds.

I have a 58 barrel on its way for my TC Hawken .54

Congrats on the deer!!!

Good luck with the flinter, do you have some real black powder for her???

I'm envious.

Nice! I'd like to someday find a .58 GM barrel to fit my TC Renegade. I remember years ago when they were available, but I had no interest at that time.

You are very fortunate to get your hands on one. Most people that own them don't let them go.

Nice shot with open sights, makes me want to get my .54 Renegade out!

Am I wrong but did this story start in 2008 when he got the deer. i am seeing guys on this thread that I have not heard of in years.

deer655,
You are correct I was doing a google search and this thread came up so I resurrected it. I figured sooner or later someone would catch on

Not only a 7 year old thread, but the OP hasn't been on the forum for 1 1/2 years.

Well Muley,

I never saw the original post and could care less! I'm happy for the man that he went out and took his first ML deer with a sidelock and patched round ball and not some souped up scoped inline.
