[QUOTE="jes10x1, post: 179091, member: 8715"] [b]More thoughts...[/b] WSMITTY has given you some good advice! I've used a .54 T/C Renegade (something like 1:28 twist I think) for probably 25 years. Used to use a conical of some type but went to a patched round ball about 10 years ago. I found that about 90 gr of Pyrodex or 80 gr of 777 gave me my best groups. Be sure to try different charges of whatever propellant you have as it can have a remarkable effect on accuracy. I hunt woods, so don't think I've ever shot at an animal more than 100 yds, but many have fallen. You'll enjoy it at the range also. The recoil is quite mild. [/QUOTE]
