Must be the case I guess. I tried shooting the PP bullets without an under wad, with a felt wad and with a veggie wad. Changed powder charges and powders. Nothing seemed to improve the accuracy.
And the group pictured above of the bare lubed conicals wasn't even the best group fired with them. That was just from this morning. The rifle shot a 3 shot cloverleaf group twice before. That group in the lower left corner of the target (covered with masking tape) is one of the 3 shot groups @ 50 yards with the bare conicals.
I was hoping the PP bullets would shoot good and I appreciate the advice and patch material supplied by both you and Ron to help me try them.
I wish I could have found a couple of the paper patches. But shooting in the high grass made it difficult.
