I've had a 54 Trade Rifle flintlock for 20+ years. Used RB to start but went to TC Maxi. 95gr of FFF Goex.
Last February I picked up a TC Renegade 54 percussion. Still playing with it. Couldn't find #11 caps so went with 209 conversion. That was a PIA. The caps were so stuck it took forever to get them out. Found #11s a few weeks ago and they're ok. Last shot seemed to have a little hangfire. Shooting Pyrodex out of it. I've since learned form the conversion manufacturer that I should back off the cap a full thread or so. I may go back to that and try it. The 209s definitely fired hotter.
Also found 54 cal maxi bullets from No Excuses. A lot heavier than the TCs but available.
