go back to the range and sight in dead on at 25 yards. That should put you about 2" high at 50 yards, almost dead on again at 75 yards and a little low, about an inch or moreat 100 yards. What kind of distance were you going to center for?
With the rifle hitting 1" high at 20 yards I will guess your POI is somewhere out around 150 yards or more. That's just a guess since the ballistic calculator I use will not let me figure a POI of less then 25 yards. When I figured an inch high at 25 yards it came in around 147 dead on and 3.+ at 100 yards, so this might be the reason. It sounds like you need more range time.
How tight are the groups?

my groupings was probobly around 4 inches @100 yards and 1 inch @20 yardsim going to switch powder, pyrodex is very tough to use its very dirty its very hard to load even you swab it, after 8 shots its very hard to seat the bullet thru the powder so shoot them half way i just bought a 2 lbs of loose3f american pioneer like u said
buy 3f not 2f.. thanks a lot cayugad!!!

It sounds like your groups were not all that bad. I think you might like the APP. There is very little fowling with it. Just be careful around moisture. I hear it is moisture sensative although I never had a problem with it.. Good luck.
