If those conicals that I sent you don't work out and you are thinking about having one of your 50 cal barrels bored out, call Bobby Hoyt. I've had a couple barrels done by him. Quality work and reasonable. turn around time is not to bad either. My vote would be a 58, why? Because it's a 58 and...

I know a guy that has a couple of the Rice 45 barrels mounted on TC Hawken stocks. Very accurate shooters they are indeed!

Buffalo Arms Co sells paper patch bullets in several different weights and lengths for the 45 cal. If you do your own casting there are lots of good molds out there both PP a Grease Groove. Idahoron can give some insight on what has worked well for him. I'm sure that barrel will not let you...

Sweet! Don’t over look paper patch bullets outta that one.

More than one way to skin a cat for sure. I've used Bobby Hoyt a couple times and have been satisfied with the work. Having your 50 barrel bored to a 52 or 54 cal faster twist would be a good way to go. I had a New Englander 50 cal taken out to a 52 cal with a 1-32 twist. That shot pretty darn...

Here’s a group that I shot last week with a GM LRH 50. It’s a new barrel and I was checking the front sight height for 100 yards. I just need to drift if so we shoot center. That bullet came from an Accurate Molds 50-415i mold. Pours at 420 grains with 1-40 lead. I’ve had similar results...

Do you cast bullets yourself? I can recommend a mold if you do. I'm assuming your rifle is a 1-48 twist? If you really want a tack driving conical elk shooter, I would keep an eye out for a replacement barrel for your Renegade. 1-28 twist Green Mountain LRH (long range hunter) will drop right...

Thanks for the reply. I went back and had overlooked the picture showing the short tang.

is the tang drilled for the install of a Vernier sight?

How long is the barrel on this beauty?

Looks like a big bundle of smoothbore wadding.

To Dang Far for me. Leaving in the morning for a muzzleloader Elk hunt. 2 1/2 hour drive to camp. Deer about 45 minutes.

Mt. Adams, Mt. St Helens and Mt Hood? I'm up north a bit more, just west of Mt. Rainier. The bear that left that pile is still around, good luck hunting it.

80 grains of powder, 1 50 cal wool wad and your PP bullet = tiny groups. Those Rice barrels are real nice!

FYI Just saw on Midway USA 1000 ct #11 CCI Mag percussion caps. Showing in stock. Not exactly cheap but what can you do.

Parts are Sold.

One more try..Still available

I thought we don't discuss in-lines? Just saying. :dunno:

That poor "clanger" target sure took a beating! Are you going to introduce that 58 to an Elk in the fall?

Get in shape. Elk are heavy to carry out!
