I haven't been able to get good groups with my new sidekick. Here is what I've tried: American Pioneer FFF 80gr, 90gr, 100gr, 110gr with 250 red hots (expanders) with sabots that came with it and harvester crushed ribs. Tried hornady 240 XTP with harverster crush rib sabots. Tried 245gr Ball-ets with lube removed (no lube because of APP). I shot the ball-ets first.

80grains got me down to the 4 inch group. The other loads had me around 5 or 6. I was shooting 50 yards. No bullet shot better than the other.

Shot my .22 to see if it was just me and I could hit a quarter size everytime with it. I thought I was holding rock steady.

The sidekick has a scope. I got my shots on the paper and didn't try to set it. I figured, what's the point until I get good groups.

I tried letting the barrel cool and swabbing every three shots--no difference.

Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
