[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3741151, member: 15054"] I shot a few of these yesterday and nothing great to say about the groups. Except 1 potentially good advancement is when I upped my powder charge to 30gr from 28 there were 2 in the same hole (figure 8) and one left and high by 2" from it. This was 25 yards. Others with lower loads shot 2 feet apart. More testing obviously. I knew I was at a minimum on my powder start charge but this is new to me bore rider and no real data to go by. On a second note I have some Ranger Plus Unslit high capacity shot cups I dropped three .490" round balls into and capped the cup with flat cork and roll crimped it. Same 28gr load and It was amazing what happened. I did not slit the shot cup and I used cornmeal as a filler /buffer between the .490 lead round balls. That shot cup stuck with the lead balls and I got a single clean hole through my target at 25 yards 1" above bullseye. I did not slit the shot cups. I stepped back to 50 yards and got 1 clean hole 8" above the first hole. I went to 100 yards and found I need a bigger target as I have no idea where it hit. I may like these unslit cups with some steel shot for reaching way out. I will make some of those up. [/QUOTE]
