Im having poor luck getting good accuracy out of my TC Renegade with patch and ball, whats a good mold for the 50 cal 1-48 twist that i can use on deer and elk? Are the lee molds any good?

maxi-balls shoot great for me in most any T/C gun I've ever had, and I've had a few. nowadays I mostly use the Lee R.E.A.L. moulds. hard to beat performance-wise and at around 20 bucks the price is hard to beat also. I use the heavier of the two weights offered.

Something is wrong if you can't get good accuracy with a PRB in a 1-48 twist. Maybe we could help with a few details.

I like the Lyman Maxi mold. The TC Maxi's you buy now don't work for me and at $1.25 a piece you can pay for a mold pretty quickly. The Lee Reals do well also; I like the heavier weight that the Lyman drops.

We should also have a definition of "poor accuracy", and some relative difference such as the groups you get with some other rifle compared to this one.

I don't mean to be judgmental, but it is very common to see descriptions like "shoots great" or "very accurate" and so on, with no numbers to give us clues as to what is meant by those terms. If you were to say that you can shoot two inch groups at 100 yards with your 6.25 mm Thumblicker Magnum with iron sights for example, and your TC is capable of ten inch groups at best at 100 yards, then we'd have something to go on. We'd know that you don't need pointers on how to shoot a rifle, too. You should also give your exact PRB load (x grains of y powder in z granulation, with a ball of what diameter and patch of what thickness, lubed with what) and whether you're swabbing between shots or you haven't cleaned the bore in six years, or how the bore and muzzle look. Without all the detail we're only talking past each other.
