Hey folks, I've got a question about shooting a tighter group at 100 yards with an in-line smokepole. I'm shooting a TC stainless Black Diamond, .50 caliber, with a World Class 3x9 Tasco scope. 90 grains of loose Pyrodex and 240 grain sabot bullets. Not a top of the line set-up, but not an el-cheapo either.
Off of sandbags at 100 yards, I know this gun has the potential to shoot groups a lot tighter than what I'm getting, which is a three shot group about the size of a volleyball. I've kept the ramrod marked to make sure my bullet is seated the same each time. I've been drawn to hunt a management hunt at a refuge in Missouri the first weekend of January and don't want to miss (or cripple) a monster if I get a crack at one.
I keep hearing about guys who are shooting two inch groups with in-lines. Suggestions?
Thanks, MO
