Hey Corey,one thing I notice in several of your posts is that you tend to shoot small numbers of different bullets and loads in a range session.

I'm not trying to be a "know it all", but you really ought to try to have a plan when you're working with a gun. For example, go out with the New Englander and just one style of bullet, like 50 balls and two kinds of patch material and two kinds of grease, and work three or five shot groups with differentcombinations of those; or take a fullbox of 20 385 grainGreat Plains and shoot five shot groups with 70, 80, 90 and 100 grains of powder. Next time out -do the same, but use felt wads under the bullets or balls. Keep your targets or good notes and you'll learn more about what works and what doesn't.
