I have a Renegade in 54. Used it on elk back in my native CO. I think I have taken 5 or 6 elk with it, mostly cows but a couple spikes (this was before antler restrictions on elk) and it was deadly on them. I loaded the old Buffalo Bullets of 425 gr and used 100gr of FFG. I never recovered a bullet from an elk and never had to shoot one twice. Good shooting rifle.

You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
