[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 2888804, member: 26476"] I've got an older 700ML that shoots great with 100grains of pyrodex pellets and a 250 Barnes Spit-fire saboted bullet. I can hit 20oz pop bottles at 200 yards with that combination and have for about 17 or 18 years now. Thing is, I use percussion caps on it. It's possible that your 209 primers are too hot and giving your load a forward push just before the pellets ignite. If it is moving your bullet seating slightly, that could be throwing off your groupings. Now I have a stainless Ruger 50 cal that won't shoot pyrodex worth a darn, but loves 777. Just try a few different combinations. [/QUOTE]
