Default Finally figured it out!!

No one probably remembers my post from about 3 months ago about my .45 cal Ultramag Firebolt CVA, but I had a tremendous problem with getting a group to suit me. I finally figured it out and am shooting tighter groups than I have ever seen a blackpwder shoot. I was using a 225 gr. Powerbelt bullet with 150 gr. of pyrodex pellets before. I never knew where it would hit, up, down, left right; just all over the place. I decided to change bullets and load down. I switched to the new 200 gr. TC Shockwave and shoot 100 gr. of pellets. I can put a 7/8" 3 shot group at 100 yards. I also use a spit patch between every shot (another thing I never did before). I just harvested a doe with it last Friday and hit her as perfect as you can get at 80 yards out. Blackpowder season ended today in Oklahoma leaving me no chance to harvest a mature buck, but I just wanted to post this to tell everyone that helped me thanx. I can shoot my gun with confidence now, knowing if that big sad daddy does happen to walk out, my gun will preform like it should. Thanx again!!
