2 reasons:
1- I went to the range one day just for the sole purpose of determining if 'indexing' made a difference. I didn't see the BIG improvement in consistency I was hoping for but I did see a little better results from that method on the right.

2- I line up the gap in between the petals with the blade of the front sight. It's easier to keep it consistent that way than the other method. Really, between the two methods I didn't see much change but there was a small, albeit noticeable improvement from not indexing at all.

I've just come to the conclusion that in Muzzleloading, (as with many other areas of life) consistency is key. The more things I can keep constant the better off I am.
