The loads for today were TC Maxi-Hunter 350 gr over 70 grains of T7 3F and some old Buffalo Ball-ets over 50 grains of T7 3F.
I did get the sight lined up, but I recall why those two type of bullets were in my rang box so long. I have simple never been able to make either of those shoot well in any of my ML's. today it was 6+ inch groups. Don't get me wrong. I still had a great time. But those bullets just do not work for me. I do recall having much better luck with Hornady Great Plains 385 gr. I could usually get 3 to 4 inch groups at 100 with those anytime (open sights).
Does anyone else have a certain bullet that just will not work well for them?
I have shot the Buffalo 385's in my Knight MK-85 and it really did do well with a 100 grains of T7-3f a #11 mag cap, but I was also using a shot card under the bullet.
I have not shot it in any other gun - so I have no idea about that.
Are you only interested in a conical? Another good conical that should work are No-Excuse .503-460 grain lead bullets...
This is a Bull Shop and the No-Excuse is basically the same thing...
