Fox Ridge barrel?

[Bucky182]

I just bought a .54 T/C renegade with an 1-66 fox ridge barrel? Have any of you ever shot any of these barrels and are they any good? This one is un-fired

Fox Ridge, isn't that T/C's custom shop?

I have 4 Fox ridge barrels for my T/C Renegade. Fox Ridge was the T/C custom shop. The barrels I have are non-standard T/C barrels in that they are in calibers not commercially offered and or of longer barrel lengths or slower twist rates for round ball use. My 50 and 54 barrels are a 1:66 twist and 32 inches long. I also have .36 and 32 barrels. They are good barrels, made by Green Mountain.

Fox ridge was the custom shop for T/C muzzleloaders. The barrels should have a round ball twist with fairly deep rifling.

That should be a very good gun.

Thank you guys, kinda new to all this black powder stuff. With the deeper threads do you want to shoot a smaller RB or a bigger ball like a .535?

That's a question only you can answer in load development.

Look up Dutch Schoultz's Black powder Accuracy. At this stage of your involvement in muzzle loading rifles, it will be money well spent.
