T/C Maxi-Hunter

Has anyone tried these?I sent my 50 cal renegade to T/C because it lost all accuracy and they ended up refitting the barrel to the stock and I have to start from scratch to find a bullet- powder charge for it.

I never had any luck with accuracy using either Maxiballs or Maxi-Hunter conicals. I've found the "sabots" to be the most accurate in my T/C muzzle loader.

My 54cal. Renegade seemed to like Hornady Great Plains bullets. Although I have never fired a sabot out of it. Its been a while since its been fired. My Encore 209x50 is the gun I go to for hunting. My eyes just aren't what they were and a scope makes life a bit easier. So unless I just want to go out and have fun at the range the Renegade will sit in its special slot in the safe.

I tried the Great Plains bullets and it they did not do very well.I have some Maxiballs if those don't work I'll go back to the good old rounball and patch.

I have had good results and accuracy from the Maxi hunters and ball. I have T/C Thunderhawk. One of the 1st in lines. It has a 1:28 twist and at 100 yards, I'm hitting a CD(all I had for a target

). I have also found that loose powder performs better than pyrodex pellets and 777 pellets in my gun. What I went through to find this out. I did convert it from #11 to 209 though. I do alot of wet weather muzzlingloading.
I like the knockdown power of the Maxi hunters and for my 100 yard shots here in southern NY.
