    Ignition problems with a T.C. Renegade

    Have you tried the maxihunters without the felt wad. I have the GM .45 and .50 barrels and the .45 shoots lead conicals better without the overpowder wad.

    what options for .50 cal bullets?

    I recommend you avoid using battery lead. Maybe the posts are ok but not the internal plates that have been soaking in acid for years, and you dont get much lead from just the posts. Turn them in for core charge money, many big chain auto parts store will buy your old batteries. Use that $ to...

    Ffg vs fffg

    Im sorry, i meant to say slower velocities, not slower burn rate. (Less speed from the same volume of powder under a similar projectile)The faster the twist, the longer the bullet CAN be and shoot accurately. Balls dont need to spin much(or at all?) to achieve good accuracy. But a faster twist...

    Ffg vs fffg

    From reports ive heard about elephant powder it is one of the slower powders. Ive never used it so ymmv. But you may try reducing you pyrodex load a little bit more. Also if im not mistaken those Investarms Cabelas carbines were a little faster twist, 1:48 and possibly even some 1:32s. Great...

    Ignition problems with a T.C. Renegade

    The TC flame channel path isnt ideal. Ive seen a few that have a bit of debris(rust, carbon, fouling) can partially clog them just enough to hang or misfire. Sometimes you have to shove a good borescope down there to check. The 2 things i would suggest are a new nipple and when loading powder in...

    Conversion?

    Ive heard a couple guys say that some spit on the 209 helps make it easier to remove after firing.

    Conversion?

    Pedersoli also sells a version of those 209 adapters. But theirs is usually black, not silver
  12. M

    Conversion?

    Its definitely a MagSpark. It takes the 209s. Just take it off and put a regular nipple back in there. Ive seen them used when the guns were having ignition problem. Also seen them used to shoot BlackHorn209 powder in a sidelock.

    FOR SALE Well, I got scammed

    Fountain is one of the smallest towns here in Michigan. My sister, a retired deputy sheriff lived there for many years and still lives near there, probably knows who he is.. Wouldnt be too hard to find this scumbag.

    Have you tried using a lighter load? Like start at 60 and try 5-6 shots then try 65grn and 5-6 shots... 70,75,80,85. See if one of them tightens up your groups

    Convince me not to buy this 1860 old silver army

    Did i miss something? Of course you should buy it. There's no down side to buying that beauty. If you pass on it there is only regret. If on the very miniscule possibilty that you dont like it(lol) im certain you can get your $ back reselling it.
