.54 Cal TC Renegade 1:48 Twist, Patched Roundball Accuracy Test

[Idaholewis]

I accuracy tested some Patched Roundball this morning in my Old STOCK 1:48 Twist .54 Cal TC Renegade, She did awesome These Old Stock 48 Twist Rifles are VERY Capable, they just need the Right components, and a Capable Shooter

The Video


My same 60 Yard Spot

First 3 Shot Group, 80 Grains of Swiss 2F Powder, .530 Balls i cast from one of my Old RCBS Molds, My Home Cut .020 Pocket Drill Patches, And an Over Powder Patch

My last 3 Shot Group, This was a NO GO Same 80 Grains of Swiss 2F, Same .530 Balls, This time i used STORE BOUGHT .015 Ox-Yoke Patches, They were nice to Load, But accuracy was no good, at least for me. It is amazing how much difference there is in accuracy here, Little things can mean a LOT

Great video, I'm a little puzzled about the over powder patch, how is it now wadded up when you seat the prb. What am I missing here? In your video it looks like they wrapped around the second patch. Hope this makes sense.
Great shooting as always.

Should read: how is it not wadded up

 

[THBailey]

Well thanks for that. Very interesting.

I get similar results with mine at 50 yards using 70gr of 3f. That thing shoots as well as i can hold it.

We are close, i am about 45 Minutes, maybe an Hour from Clarkfork

That’s great!

Perhaps, we will meet some time. I am relatively new to the BP, but I am casting my own ball and mini and shooting regularly, with the goal to eventually shoot as well as you.
( Big goal! )

We have a 25 acre fruit farm in the area, with a basic 100 yard shooting range set up, so it makes practice easier.

I was gonna sell one of my tc hawkens until I started watching your cool videos.
You mentioned an 1/8” over powder feltwad in one.
All I found is those prelubed oxyoke deals.
Do you cut your own?
Thanx, keep shooting!!
