. . . but I now know that if my groups are narrow and tall, then I need to make my power weights more accurate.
PA Bow/Flinter,
I failed to mention that there is another way to narrow a vertical spread without narrowing the velocity distribution. Increasing the average muzzle velocity will decrease the vertical spread even when the velocity distributionremains wideand is just one of the reasons light bullets and heavy charges are popular.
Some of us enjoy using moderate charges and heavy bullets. For us,velocity distribution can be a considerable hinderance beyond 120 yards.
Happy Hunting, Phil
And once again, you make an excellent point. But for my circumstances...if I can even make a group with my flintlock past 50 yds, I'm happy.
