RE: conicals out of a fast twist GMB
After yesterday's shooting, where I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, I came home and Really cleaned the lock/trigger mechanism on my Bobcat. Went back out today and loaded 80 grains of Pyrodex RS, set the life size deer target at 50 yards, and let three shots fly. The bullet was that 370 Grain Maxi Ball. No problems, but I pulled the last shot very slightly. What would have been a 2" group turned out to be about 3". Only problem I find is that I am about 5" below where I am aiming. I am hoping the bullet is still climbing, and will be a little higher at 75 and 100 yards. I have no more room to raise my Lyman Hunter sights any more. I can't wait for deer season!!
