Default range test with the kentucky 50 cal

my target was at 68 yards, the widest spread was 8 inches. i swabed between each shot or cleaned. i used prb and 60 grs of t7 for the first 3 shots, 4th shot was 60 grs of t7 and a sabot with a xtp bullet. the next 4 shots were prb with 65 grs of rs. i was standing shooting freehand so that played a big part of the large spread plus my patches were shredded and burnt up. worse with the t7 but the rs was no better on the patches so i figure that played the biggest factor of all on the accuracy. the first shot with the 60grs oft7 and the last shot #8 with the 65grs of rs were the best but i was leaning against my pickup with these two shots. i'm going to get some wonder wads and try again to see if this helps.
