Default RE: Accuracy? how much, to what level?

Since I started BP shooting, I was more or less brainwashed by all the hype that different manufactures put out to the public. Then I got on this site and started to take everybodies word as law. I have noticed that my Omega likes a heavier bullet. I was shooting 250gr and even bought a mold for them so I can cast my own. Well, my friend has a ML and the last time we were at the range he was shooting 300gr cast bullets. He finally talked me into loading one in my T/C and holy crap! What a difference it made. On a bench, peep sight at 100yds with a 250gr cast, I was lucky to keep it at a 3" MOA, more like 4". That has now shrunk to a consistant 2" MOA with the 300gr and I am stoked. I just ordered a bunch of 290gr Barnes TMZs. I hope they are as consistant as the cast. Consistant accuracy in a ML is not as easy as I thought, but I think I may be onto something. I remember that (I think it was Dave that said) the BH209 is designed for a heavier bullet. He was right. The more I learn, the less I know. I got rained out of my last range day so I hope I can get back next week and give you all a good report about my experience.
