[QUOTE="flintlock hunter, post: 2210631, member: 118777"] HI, first, welcome to the forum! Your Renegade will do the job with proper bullet placement, and if Colorado allows the use of a peep sight as most other states do, it will be the improvement you are hoping for. The Renegade 54 cal has a 1:48 twist, which many consider a comprimise twist capable of handling a patched ball, or a lead conical. While this is true, the reality is that the 1:48 will work with a patched ball using lighter powder charges, but is primarily a conical twist and will produce the kind of ballistics you'll need for a moose. This statement is general, and individual rifles sometimes don't read the rules. I'll just throw this in because personal experience showed me it it true.... Pyrodex or Black powder? The rifle will have to show you which it perfers, one may prove more acurate and reliable than the other. If you want to shoot a flinter, black powder is your choice. I have only one inline, a Thunderhawk, so all I can help with is the Renegade. Good luck on that moose hunt! [/QUOTE]
