Loading for .56 cal Renegade
I have a .56 T/C Renegade smoothbore, which I've been using with .54 balls and a .15 patch. A friend gave me an electric lead "smelter" and some lead ingots,and I'd like to start making my own lead balls for muzzleloading.I'm not sure if this lead is pure or not. If there is any alloy in it, could I still use it in my smoothbore w/o any problems? I'd like to get a mould for .54 balls and use it if this would be safe,and or, not cause any damage to my gun. Any ideas? Thanks.
