I've been trying to develop a load of full bore lead in my CVA Accura and am running into problems reducing the size of my group. I always start my session with 4 300g Hornady SST since they give a tight group and I can judge how the conditions are that day.
So far the closest group I've had is with the 348g lead Powerbelt and think I'm close to getting that figured out, but they are almost twice the cost of the Great Plains or Maxi-Hunter.
I don't have tumbling on the GP or MH conicals, all my holes are perfect round punches through the paper and cardboard. But starting at 65g Pyrodex RS and moving up, can't find a way to get the groups from seeming to be random. On the Maxi Hunter I went all the way up to 110g.
These two conicals are lubed and although are tough to start passed the false muzzle, slide more easily down the barrel than anything else I've fired. Is that a problem?
I was told to apply about 80lbs of pressure to the packing of the conical and that didn't seem to help (and might be related to a misfire I had). I was also told a wad was useful, but haven't incorporated that yet.
Is 1:28 able to shoot full bore conicals out to 100yds accurately? Am I working up the load in the wrong way?
I feel like I'm missing something! Thanks for any help!
