RE: Conical accuracy
ORIGINAL: mtjsw
I finally came up with 80gr. of Goex ffg with a 370 gr maxi-ball. It gave me 1-3/4 groups at 50 yds. Is this pretty close for a WMC? I keep trying to find a one hole load, but to no avail. Maybe I am asking to much of the rifle. Your opinions are valued.

Hard for anyone to offer adefinite opinion - since you failed to mention the make& model of ML you have. Conicals shoot differently in each barrel twist.

RE: Conical accuracy
Out of a very good shooting conicalrifle (such as a White) you can get
a 3" group at 200 yards. However there is a big drop.
Shooting a 460 conical over 100 grains of T7 with a wad
77 yards 3" high
118 yards dead on
160 yards 6" low
200 yards 20" low
These are all verified numerous times.

RE: Conical accuracy
It is a White Mountain Carbine, but it has the 1:20 barrel on it. I will be trying Buffalo Bullets 385gr and GP 385gr. I am having a hard time finding any other concals locally. Anyone have a favorite site to find them?
