Renegade Round Ball question.

[1861 Springfield]

To keep this topic on track id ask that you keep the conversation to the rifle and caliber im seeking advice and experience on . Ok i have a renegade flintlock in 54 and it refuses to shoot less than 6 inches at 50 yards benched. Nothing is wrong with me, the gun or my bench set up. My question for those who have real life experience with a 54 renegade using RBs In your personal experience have you had great success shooting RBs out of this gun and if so can you share your "consistant ,repeatable" results. I realize these are 1:48 twist and is suppose to be a happy medium twist rate but Im not seeing it.......thanks

How much powder and what kind? My .54 Renegade likes 70 grs of 2F with a .530 ball and a .018 cotton patch with mink oil lube. Most of my fast twist shoot round ball with lighter loads.
