Might be easier to just find a shorter chair to sit on.

Found a possible problem with the load i am using. Went back out today and again shot a 3" 100 yard group with 80gr. Loaded up 90gr and took 2 shots which measured 1". When i was reloading some 100gr charges i noticed the wad felt like it was straight up rather than flush against the powder charge.

Those 2 shots grouped horrible so i am thinking i should melt some of my bees wax/olive oil lube and soak the wads in them since they are so soft and fold up easily.

Other than that, the 90gr Load impacts a good 4" higher which i didn't expect but its extremely accurate and the recoil actually feels good.

A little more experimenting and then shes done as far as load development goes.

How are you pushing the wad down? If you're using the ram rod you're probably turning it. Just put the wad in a little ways, and push it down with the bullet.

If you're already doing that. Tighten up the wad as you say.

Or in other words...........never mind.

yeah i was pushing them down with the ramrod, i will do it your way next time out and see how she does. Really lovin that gun right now. Not as much as my other sidelock but still a lot of fun to shoot.

Devil, on the shooting bench thing - you should make the rounds of thrift stores and second hand shops in your area and find yourself and old folding adjustable height ironing board.
