    CLOSED T/C Renegade with Green Mountain barrel in .54 cal

    I just don't use this so time to move it along. T/C Renegade with a 32" Green Mountain round ball twist barrel. Really nice shape. As you can imagine, it is a fine shooter. Loves 90 grains of FFFg and a patched ball. $700 and shipping. No electronic payments. Thanks for looking.

    That should last a while

    I used to shoot a lot of original BP cartridge guns. At one point the hoarding took over. Now I rearely shoot them, haven't cast a bullet in 10 years, and I still have about 800# of 20-1 and pure lead. Sad really...

    Smooth bore recoil?

    I used to hang out at a shop where the owner was a big muzzleloader guy. He swore that recoil of smooth bore guns was less than rifled. Sounds like a story, but how about it?

    Vent hole plug?

    Here in PA our flintlock season is after Christmas. Weather can be an issue. I just carry toothpicks. Insert into the touch hole and close the frizzen. Easy to open frizzen, remove tooth pick and quick prime.

    SOLD TC Hawken Stock for Sale 15/16" for 45 or 50 cal barrel

    It won't take a 1" barrel. You will need a Renegade stock. In experience the Renegade does not have the drop like the Hawken. Not sure how much difference but I notice it. Looks like a nice refinish job.

    Difference in patterning between lead and bismuth/tin shot?

    I used to load shot shells. I had good results by using tablet backs to make an "X" that I dropped into the shot cup before loading the shot. They turned my full choke Ithaca into an Improved modified for rabbits.

    Barrel length and velocity of patched balls

    My understanding has been that longer barrels allow burning of more powder. While I like the Lyman Deerstalkers, I have found d that there is a limit to what gets burned and how much is pushed out the muzzle. I have not tried running loads over a chrono but I do know that my impact change from...

    Hitting low on Frizzen

    If you have a bench vice, take a round ball and flatten it on the anvil portion of the vice until you reach the shape and size you need to place under the flint.

    Green Mountain barrel?

    Forget about the price... good luck finding one. If you have a line on one then you are way ahead of the game. I would like one in flintolock. I have one on a Renegade but the 32", big 1" . barrel is pretty heavy.

    Cutting large chunks of lead

    I lay things like that across the pot and then melt the edges with a propane torch, allowing the melted lead to drip into the pot.

    Bullet Casting Question

    Soft lead sometimes will fail to completely fill in the mold. I prefer 20-1. In my 10# Lee melter that means 1# of 50-50 bar solder and fille the pot with lead. That little bit of tin makes a difference.
