Little help, TC Renegade muzzleloader in .54 cal.

Picked up a Renegade from a member here (thanks ihunt49) and I'm looking for a load-data chart. Checked the interwebs and TCs website without much luck. I emailed TC but I'm not very hopeful with the change in ownership since this rifle was made. They only have Hawken .50 cal manuals in their download archives.

If my memory isn't totally shot, 120 grains of 2F was the max. But I don't want to go off memory for something like this. If you have your Renegade or Hawken manual that has .54 cal loads, a PDF or photo would be helpful. Also, if you've got some pet loads for the .54 cal TC muzzleloaders, let's hear them.

Here you go. I only hunt with a Maxi-ball or the Lee Real bullet when hunting. In my 50 Cal Hawken they are more accurate than the round ball and have amazing penetration on deer. The only bullet I ever recovered was from a button buck facing me. I hit it in the neck and found the bullet under the skin behind the ham. 5 feet of penetration is good enough for me and your 54 cal will have even more.
