TC .54cal
Hi all,
My dad recently bought a 54 cal TC renegage. He is not too sure what to shoot out of it. Do any of you all have any good loads for him to start out with? I am sure that he wants to stick with maxi balls or mini balls
thanks

Black powder 2f say about 60 grains to start. Then patched round ball. I'm traditional type. remember the chat powder, patch, ball.
I always stressed to my son"one shot one kill that was all that is needed". When He came home from Marine Corp Boot camp He was telling me about the Marines stressing "ONE SHOT ONE KILL" He looks at me and the light bulb went on Dad was now a whole lot smarter than he was 13 weeks ago.

60grns would be a fine starting point.
start shooting there to get on paper, and used to the gun.
to actually hunt with it, the powder charge will need to be somewhere between 75-100 gns of powder.it's only metal, we can out think it....
