    Loads for 58 cal "Reneboar"

    Thanks everyone. Definitely for hunting, so I'll start at 90 and go up. Grimord: I'm working on getting the 56 SB working with a .530 rb and jeans for a patch. I think that I need to start at 60 gr. FFg and work up from there.

    Loads for 58 cal "Reneboar"

    What to do in between hunts....

    I don't know about shooting up at a slight angle. I really like my neighbors (that's where I hunt) and I live in a Red county.

    What to do in between hunts....

    Should I then use the ball puller then the patch puller? (I haven't had a need to use them yet.)

    What to do in between hunts....

    Hi, First time doing traditional ml hunting this winter. What do I do in between hunts with my percussion Renegade? Should I just shoot into the ground and clean, or can I just take off the cap and ignore it like my unmentionable IL? The "brass suppository season was a bust here at home and...

    Thumper finally tested.

    I'm drooling looking at that delicious elk meat! Congrats and job well done! I'd like your advice on a rebore. I've got a Renegade 50 cal w/pitting in the barrel. I've got factory Renes in 54 and 56 cal. My thoughts: 54 cal fast twist for conicals 58 slow twist for prb 58 fast twist for...
