Retro with Renegade this year?
 
Well, I have a colorado bull muzzleloader tag on the way and have to decide which rifle to use. Got an invite to a great private land hunt near Glenwood Springs. They are friends that 20 years ago gave me a T/C renegade kit so I kind of feel obligated to use that rifle. It has always been a good one! Today made a stop by Bass Pro and picked up some fffg 777, some cci#11 magnum caps and have some 460 gr no excuses ordered and on the way. Probably start at 80 gr of powder and see how they shoot. If I can get them to shoot pretty well, I think I will be using it. Probably take the Knight LRH as a back up though!

Well your Rene should definately do the trick. And them big old NE bullets will put a damper on any bull's day. Good luck to you.

It would be mighty satisfying to take a bull with that Renne and a big `ol chunk of lead.

I would use whatever your most confident with myself. private land bull hunts are hard to come by, just like nice bulls.. Ray

good luck with the elk hunt. I am sure you will find a load that works well for you.
