What's the twist rate on the Renegade? If it's a round-ball shooter you're out of luck because one of the new regs this year is that .50 caliber round balls are no longer legal. .50 caliber conicals are legal.

Bullets have to be full bore-sized (no sabots) but are not restricted to lead. You can use copper plated (Powerbelts) or solid copper (Thor bullets). Scopes are illegal, but fiber optics are legal.

Here's a link to another thread on elk loads that should give you an idea of what others are shooting:

ETA, I just looked it up, it appears they have a 1:48? IN my .50 caliber Hawken, the 385 grain hollow point and 410 grain flat point Hornady great plains bullets shoot well with around 80 grains of powder.
