No, there is no need to remove the barrel just for cleaning after shooting. My guns are cleaned in the field long before returning home. I used to do the bucket & water method for years. Then several years ago I found an easy, quick and very effective method. Needless to say, I enjoy going...

Moose Milk: 1/2 Cup Ballistol 1 Ounce Murphy's Oil Soap 2 Cups water - I use distilled water In cold weather use a bit of 91% Rubbing Alcohol to prevent freezing. Patch Lube: Moisten your patches with it as a patch lube and cleaner as you shoot. Use a small, pocket size, airtight container...

Yep, get elected to the board and then start implementing the changes you would like to see.

I haven't yet but I will and I'll let you know how it goes. Due to the season, give me a bit of time because I don't get to the range much in December. Edited: In the meantime, I found a couple youtube videos that might help to answer your question: Hodgdon Triple 7 Flintlock Lyman Great Plains...

Try some of that T7 in 2f sometime and let me know what you think.

What will you be using it in - muzzleloader (flint or percussion) or cartridge? Is it for plinking, target, hunting or competition shooting?

I run 40 gr in my .50 at target shoots. I discovered a few years ago that less is more when shooting round ball.

Mine was/is a .50 Hawken. I still have it and always will. I'm winning with the Renegade I rescued a few years ago. No need to change or "upgrade". Although I do have a custom full stock Hawken flintlock slow twist. I haven't mastered it yet. It's hard to leave the TC's home when targets are...

Correct, good quality production traditional BP rifles. Con: barrel rifling not deep enough.

Ballistol is the only lube you need for cleaning, maintaining and yes... even patch lube when used as follows. So yes, it's worth it and they know it. Moose Milk: 1/2 Cup Ballistol 1 Ounce Murphy's Oil Soap 2 Cups water - I use distilled In cold weather use a bit of 91% Rubbing Alcohol to...

Where are you finding Goex these days?

What did they use in 1838? The question is: Why not make 4f (finer powder) out of 2f or 3f courser powder, if it is of absolute importance to put a finer powder in the pan?

Does the TC Renegade Hunter have the same barrel twist (1: 48) as the Renegade?

The results will be posted here on this thread. Generally around the 10th of the month to allow enough time for all the targets to arrive and be scored.

If that works best for you, no problem. You can post the target at whatever orientation you like.

Got mine shot today. Shot two went high because I pulled :( TC .50 Renegade. 40 gr Olde Eynsford 3f, .490 self cast, .015 w/moose milk.

Yes. An excerpt from the opening post says: “ Since cold air makes for numb fingers and shaking hands I decided to go with a nice big target this month! But big targets are just too darn easy to hit so there is a bit of a twist!”

Please make more. I’m interested but tapped until February at this point. 😕

That's the best kind of practice you can hope for. It was a bit frigid when I shot mine. It makes for a good primer for our three day shoot in February. 🥶
