    T/C Renegade Range Report

    I am sorry if you thought my reply was disrespectful. It was not meant to be. When he pointed out my mistake in my terminology I thought it was a little funny, and yes I did feel silly. Paul, I hope that you did not take offense to my reply. It was really all in good fun. I am definately...

    T/C Renegade Range Report

    thanks guys. I will remember those suggestions about the dry load :redface: As far as the patches, there are no cuts, but like you mentioned there is a couple where they are jagged, almost cut. Not all are that way. Should I be doing something different, smaller patch maybe? I was...

    T/C Renegade Range Report

    One more question. I have never taken off the hammer of the gun before. Someone told me a few weeks ago on this forum that is something I should be doing when cleaning the gun. So how do I do this? I noticed the flathead screw on the opposite side of the gun from the hammer so if I remove...

    T/C Renegade Range Report

    Hey guys. Well after finally getting my Renegade cleaned out REAL good I was able to take it out to the Forest today for some shooting. Was able to get my shots all touching at 50 yards off the bench, and the last two shots were free hand standing at 50 yards, hitting about 2" apart. Would...

    Newbie Questions

    AAAHHHHHH..........OK Thank you! That does make a lot of sense now. I will open my options up and keep a look out for a fowler as well. Don't know if I can "get away with it", :yakyak: , if you know what I mean. The drop in barrel may be cheaper for the short term till I can get a fowler...

    Newbie Questions

    OK, so should I not be looking at all for a GM smoothbore barrel to hunt turkeys with my Renegade? Is that not a good idea? Should I specifically look for a "Fowler"? So a "Fowler" is a smooth bore gun that can shoot both shot or round balls, while a smooth bore rifle, such as a T/C Renegade...

    Newbie Questions

    Thanks for the comments guys. I will check into GM. Russ, based on your comments are you saying that a smooth bore barrel on a rifle stock is not adequate for hunting birds. Now I said I wanted to hunt turkeys, not upland birds or waterfowl, so the need for a smooth swinging balanced gun...

    Newbie Questions

    OK guys. So by looking through old posts, I think I get the understanding of the whole smooth bore thing. I am very interested in shooting a BP shotgun, particulary for turkey. I have a friend in TX that last I knew had a BP shotgun and hadn't used it in years. I was thinking about getting a...

    Powder and Twist questions

    Thanks guys for all the help. Think I finally got it clean today. Bronze brush really did the trick. Double patches came out not perfectly clean, but very little discoloration. Now just have to save up some money to order some Goex! :thumbsup: Jeff

    Powder and Twist questions

    OK guys, I have spent all of this evening working on this barrel. It is obviously more dirty than I ever thought, and my newness in Black Powder is shining through :surrender: I plugged the nipple and washed the barrel with rubbing alcohol. Fluid came out clean, but dry patches put through...

    Powder and Twist questions

    Thanks so much for the help :hatsoff: One more question/concern. Now I will admit that I have not taken care of this gun as well as I should have. I bought it several years ago and mostly let it sit. Just recently have I found a love for shooting it, and a respect for the muzzleloading...

    Powder and Twist questions

    OK, these are in regards to my 54 t/c renegade. I am looking to buy black powder for the first time. I have been using pyrodex, but just becuase that is what I have had. Which bp should I purchase for this gun? Also, the barrel measures 26" to just in front of the nipple, 27" to where the...

    PRB after the shot?

    Very cool guys, thanks for all the info! Jeff

    PRB after the shot?

    O yeah, Javelina have large musk glands on their back, and special care has to be taken to get a quick clean kill on a calm animal, then make quick work of cleaning them out carefully. I was wondering about hide damage on the exit as well, seeing as how I am starting taxidermy, thought it would...

    PRB after the shot?

    Thats kinda what I figure, not like they are heavy boned or anything. Thanks, just didn't know what to expect for an exit wound. Jeff

    PRB after the shot?

    I was wondering what sort of form does a patched round ball keep after making contact with an animal? Does it flatten out, or stay round? I am sure a lot of it has to do with where the ball hits, bone, etc. Reason I am asking is cause I have a Javelina hunt in a few months and want to take...

    My T/C Renegade....

    Hey guys. Thought I would start a new thread, cause I went out today and shot the gun, and now have a few comments/questions. Well, first off, I had forgotten how fun that thing is to shoot!! I had a blast. Started at 50 yards shooting PRB and 70 gr of Pyrodex. Was shooting about 6 inches...
