I do, you could be driving them hard to stablize them on the long haul. My shots would never be over 100yds unless we find something on a powerline or something like that. So when we sight in we look what the bullet is doing at 50-100yds.
I don't doubt your results ballistics are very grey to say the least.

Over on another board I post on everyone says a T/C 1:48 is not a good barrel to shoot roundball out of and dozens of people have posted good targets and they all just say it's some kind of aboration. I guess the Hawken brothers had it right when they settled on 1:48 for their rifles.

I have a T/C Hawken,1:48, just sighted it this past weekend with 380 REALS,90 GR.T7,wonder wad, bench. I was getting 3 inch groups at 100 yds. I think it shoots these 380REALS better than a patched RB.

I have found that few 48" twists are good 100 yard shooters. But for 50-75 yards max, they are fine. The 48" twist rifles to be leery-of for roundball shooting at 100 yards are the more modern 48's coming from inexpensive ML manufacturers that provide shallow, button-rifling.
