I hope to get back to shooting a number of TC rifles and perhaps purchase another. I was never well educated in these guns beyond buying maxiballs and going with a middle range charge. I know people here have studied and experimented and I would really appreciate a good starting point. Is there a good bullet design that is readily available in a mold for all: 45,50,54, and 58? I dont know where to begin. I mounted a peep sight on the 54 Renegade. I do have a 58 Big Bore in the mix.
With the recommended mold, can I also be told if I need to size and what to use for Lube.
I have Bore Butter and SPG on hand. Just for a sanity check, I assume no patch or wad needed?
I assumed pure lead is best which I have and easy to purchase more. That will upset to seal the bore? Or might 1:20 alloy be better given the shallow rifling? I have that on hand as well. More money and shipping for 1:20.
I also assume no wads over powder. Although I have some in 54. I dont remember why.
If I am asking to much, I apologize and perhaps a push in the best direction for one mold 54 or 58 is enough to get me started. I am pretty much home bound with virus scare. I could priority order a mold and start casting.
