Sharp shooter: I spent time over 3 years with multiple loose powders and many different conicals without much success.

UC: thanks for the info. And I do get variation when I push a dry patch down the barrel. I even sent the gun back to T/C telling them of this problem and my trouble getting conicals to shoot. They simply shot some sabots through it using pyrodex, got a 1-/34 inch group and sent it back saying it was OK.

I then tried pryodex and full bore conicals and it still wouldn't shoot well, but started getting 4" groups at 100 yards with open sights with pyrodex and powerbelts. Since I only shoot out to 100 yards, I should probably call that good and just use them, but have had some many people say how good bullets like the NE did on game and wish I could get them to shoot better.
