Check your patches, are the edges burned (loose fit) are the lands cutting the patch? both of these may make your group may look like you shot your target with a shotgun. You can also use white ink and mark your front sight so that you will kinda get an idea how much lower it needs to be. Best part of this is that you get to keep shooting to figure out what is wrong. steg49

Well, it certainly was no more rude than your comment which I took as lighthearted ribbing. Which is how I meant my response.

Recovered patches aren’t in the best shape. Pretty sure a big part of my problem is they’re not thick enough and the bore needed smoothed out some. Yeah, I’ve been using the search function a lot. I’m going to take care of those things and see what it does for it. Thanks to everyone for the advice and replies.
Just a thought, every gun I got, the front sight was always too tall. I wound up grinding them down almost by half. Something to think about.
