TC Renegade 56 caliber smooth bore percussion

[yeahbuck36]

I stumbled on this TC the other day, and it intrigued the hell out of me so I just had to pick it up! The way I understand it, TC made these for a primitive weapons season in MA during the 70s and 80s, where you could only hunt deer with a smooth bore. Anyways, I bought it not so much for shooting ball (though I probably will), but instead for shooting shot. I've loaded a few different loads so far and have her shooting pretty damn good! Too bad I don't have any turkey tags left, of I'd be taking her out in search of a gobbler the last few days of the spring season. So I guess I'll have to wait until the fall and try and put a few squirrels and maybe a grouse or bunny on the table with her!

Here's a pattern I shot at 20 paces; 60gr of 2F, wadding, 80gr of #6 shot, and and over shot card. Don't think I'd have an issue downing a tom with this load.
