I have an 1858 Enfield , replica, in .58. Shooting minies. I pre-lube the grooves on the bullet with a wax the consistency of candle wax.
60 gr of pyrodex the bullets are all over the place. Groups would be 6x6 FEET!!
I get out my softer lube of a cream type consistency and also fill the base cavity which I had left hollow. I start placing the minies in a man-size target consistently at 50 yds. 3/4 of the rounds actually struck at point of aim.
Any ideas on what is going on here? My experience with my setup kind of leads me to believe accuracy in this firearm is a myth. Tips and advice would be welcome. Thanks.
