Thompson Center Remegade .54

[@btinsen]

Just bought my Thompson 54 Cal and found your video thank you very much for the useful information. Excellent.!

I used to have this make and model of a one shot wonder and it was so accurate! I had the .56 caliber smoothbore barrel for it too that I used to fire birdshot from as a .28 gauge shotgun. I also used to have a .50 caliber T/C Hawken. I got me an Uberti 1858 new model army revolver during the summer of 2022 and at the same time I got me a Howell .45 Colt cylinder for it that I use to fire .45 Colt cowboy loads from my piece and I put up a video of me doing that recently

I have a .54 Renegade I bought in the early 80's as a kit and worked it into a fine looking rifle that looks like a factory model. I only took it out 3-4 times and only killed 1 deer with it then into my gun safe it went for decades. I am getting the basic accessories together to use it again as a bit of a project. I will probably keep my moment of truth shot under 50 yards. This could be my Renegades last hurrah in that I have 9 muzzleloaders. Most are in- lines and 4 are absolute shooters. But this "project" will be fun and I hope of being successful. Most of my muzzleloader are T/C's but in the last few years CVA's have come on strong. But I am thrilled T/C is coming back. Can't wait to see what they offer. An Encore in .350 Legend would be a dandy to take a big buck with here in Ohio.

I had a Thompson-Center Renegade rifle in .54 caliber. It was a very nice shooting accurate rifle although not as 'pretty' as the Hawken, it was perfect for deer hunting as it didn't have all that shiny brass furniture. Unfortunately I sold it to finance purchase of a Lyman Great Plains rifle in .50 caliber..also an excellent rifle which I won some matches with. Wish I had that .54 caliber Renegade though especially since Thompson-Center got away from manufacturing 'traditional' sidelock muzzleloading rifles. They made some really high quality traditional style sidelock muzzleloaders back in the day.

I have the same rifle. It’s really accurate with minne bullets from a Lee mould. It’s a joy to shoot.

[@timkraft4583]

I love these old smoke poles. They are painfully slow to load though. Just perfect for a world that needs to slow down anyway.

[@thomaskimball3789]

I bought mine in 1984 , have taken three white tails with it “ one a 50 yard head shot” and still own it today and will till I die . The old TC was killed by in-line shit poles and S&W.

Bought a .54 contender in a kit back in early 90s. I would love to find one these in great shape. They very accurate rifles. Shame they no longer make them.

[@thomaspreece4815]

I've had a 54 Renegade for a long time. I actually built mine from a kit. It's a dang good shooter.

[@savageater57]

I have a. 54 T/C Hawken and it just will not group patched round ball however it will shoot the Hornady Great plains conical 425 gr through the same hole at 50 yrds with 110grs of fff pyrodex. Just a safety note, Do not leave the hammer resting on the cap , it can fire with no warning due to the pressure of the hammer . I have personally witnessed this on the range fortunately no one was injured as the line was hot and no one was down range. The rifle had been loaded and was just resting on bags .

[@paulcombetto2269]

I'm surprised Thompson doesn't make traditional muzzleloaders anymore. I thought there would still be a market and demand for them.

[@bobconnor1210]

A ripped patch can also merely indicate that your rifling is nice and sharp.

[@JohnHarmon-w1s]

I got one in 1984 it never let me down

[@timfarley274]

Or you can shoot the cap off in a safe direction if you at the range and swab the bore for residue to confirm.

[@jplowery4570]

I have the same rifle, my wife bought it for me in 1990.

[@michaelhrivnak1719]

Great video! Curious why you don't pre-cut your patches before going out in the field.

[@vikasrgowda2023]

Loved it ♥

[@JohnCoxe-mw1cq]

Pyrodex hangfires like crazy.

[@DavidWilson-eu1mv]

After removing the fired cap, blow through the barrel from the muzzle to make sure there’s no fouling.

[@juvenalcoelho1272]

These are both junk and ugly. No wonder not made anymore. Lots of farcbetter makers.

[@DonEmbrey]

What an ugly attitude.

[@jacobwilbert1018]

Muzzleloader manufacterures? Like who

[@JamesSmith-mz9ec]

Mountain Men did not plink, lead and powder were too hard to come by

[@jacobwilbert1018]

It always sorta ruins a joke when someone feels like they need to explain it

[@theoutdoorslifetv3200]

But they did take bets on shooting. So some practice had to be involved.
