I also have a 6MOA .45 Seneca.... Cannot convince me 1:45 is a good rate of twist for either ball or Minnie, much less both. dumasses should have gone high or low, or both high and low, shooter's choice. I'd have bought both. In fact, TC should have sold it in swap-barrel form.

What I really want is a Renegade in .54..... an accurate one. but I'll never buy TC BP again.

If I was really hot to trot ML, I'd get a proper twist barrel or conicals and modify the Hawkin, but since there is no advantage (read reasonable access to ML season), I won't.

Fun to shoot, even if it won't hit anything..... smile
T/C actually used a 1 in 48" twist. With the right thickness patch combined with the right diameter ball and the right powder charge they are very accutate. Mine will cloverleaf at 75 yards with a .490" ball combined with a .015" patch and 75 grs. of Goex fffg.. Like any rifle, sometimes they need a little tweaking to do their best, which is why the rear tang and full length of the barrel channel is acraglassed on mine.
