Default RE: How much powder to use?

Alrighty well heres the results from this morning...kind of depressing! haha

ok well I didnt even bother shooting past 25 yards because as you can see...my groupings are horrible even there.

I am not having any problems with the T7 lighting...just that the cap doesnt always go off. Seems like sometime the first strike just sets the cap then the second torches it off.

If I had the money I would be downright tempted to go down to Bi-mart and pick up the BigHorn for $250 but I would really love to get this thing shooting. But it just doesnt seem to want to with what I have tried so far. It seems like even with what I am using...I would atleast get some decent groups and not like these.

Oh, and the gun was in one of those handy dandy bench rests that even has a strap to hold it in place even better. This way I know its not shooter error...

I also shot many with 85 grains earlier this week and no better results than these. I am new to this and dont really know what I should do now. I figured I would atleast get better patterns than this...





And Here are some of my patches or whats left of them...that I could find.





THANKS!

BHB
