UPDATE: i finally found a bullet my rifle likes, its the hornady sabot w/200gr xtp bullet. off hand at around 65-70 yrds, no scope, i' m getting a 4 in, 5 shot group with 90 grains pyrodex. now you' re probably thinking " oooh, driving nails" (sarcasm), but if you seen how this thing shot before you' d know why i think this is good.as far as not cleaning between shots with pyrodex, i do anyway. it looks pretty filthy after a shot, so i figure it wouldnt hurt. now i just need to add a scope and a little fine tuning and ill be set. thanks for all the input from you fellas.
UCO, try something other than a powerbelt
