So, any thoughts of opinions on 54 caliber roundballs and the TC Renegade?

The renegade is a great rifle .I'm very happy with it . The round balls I used are Speer brand and did not expand much .The deer was unable to give his opinion on either. I think more shooting is in order . FBC

The one that impresses me the most is using your homemade powder. Congrats.

BTW, that deer looks almost black. Neat-looking.

Impressive. Butcher it and cook it yourself and you will be close to fully "vertically integrated".

Isn't it great to be self reliant!

I like to say: Expect to self rescue. No one is coming.

I process deer myself . Always have . I learned last year that a air fryer works great for cooking deer meat . FBC

The forum does not want black powder making taught on here . I watched YouTube videos by a guy called Hoffman reproductions . I ordered from Amazon the potassium nitrate and sulfur , 5 pound and 2 pound bags together for 30 something dollars plus a little for shipping . It's super easy to do . I made my charcoal from the red heart wood from a dry eastern red cedar log . FBC
