Default RE: Worse groups ever

ORIGINAL: Semisane

Now Gander, don't go and start a "worst groups ever" contest. I can get worse than 12" at 100 yards easily.

Two suggestions - try different lubes & try felt wads. Was that group with the wheel weight balls? How was the wind?
Wind? Whats that? Im sitting in a friggin tanning bed!

Soft stick a weight wheel weights.

With 90g i didnt even show up on paper. The took 3 shots with 110g and the .015 but this time i added another patch down the bore first on top of the powder then loaded the patched ball. 2 shots were 5" low and dead center and measured 2"

Next 3 shots with .018 pillow ticking and 110g goex measured a little over 1" 3 shot group. But still 5" low and dead center.

If i were to file 1/16th" of the front sight, do you think that would put me close to dead on? I use the 6 o'clock hold.

For hunting, what i will more than likely do is load up my first shot with the .018 PT patch and the powerbelt round ball "My hunting balls" and if i shoot it at something i will load up a .015 patch "Double patch" and it will be darn close if i need another shot.

Its shooting good though. Shoulder is a little sore but nothing to cry over

Going to take a couple more shots and call it a day. Its just to darn hot out there right now and the heat is draining me quick.
