    Pietta 1858 group size

    I get 5" (or better) offhand with mine. The one time I benchrested it, I got 3.5-4" The biggest single factor I found was getting teh right ball size for my particualrt gun, which happenned to be the 0.454. A little better than 0.451 or 0.457.

    My gun loves 2F? Bah! Humbug!

    I agree with your analysis, tho it is a different point than I was making.

    My gun loves 2F? Bah! Humbug!

    I don't belive that is true. Measured by volume, I beleive the coarser 2F will give you more shots per pound, as the larger sized granules pack looser / with more voids, and therefore you are using less powder (measured by weight) for the same measure of powder by volume. Stated another way...

    My gun loves 2F? Bah! Humbug!

    I know the powder choice / weight of charge can make a HUGE difference in my smokeless guns. And its not a psychological difference, its a REAL difference. From groups of 0.50" at 100 yards to groups of 1.25" at 100 yards. Different charges of the SAME powder can also make a difference. I...

    Original Precussion Longrifle

    Beautiful rifle. (I'm not even sure what HC/PC means) How's that buttplate feel on the shoulder?

    First... maybe only flintlock

    If consistentnly hitting your target is the objective, a rifle is the only answer. "Only accurate rifles are interesting."

    any quallity minie ball rifles out there with...

    I hear ya about the Minie Ball. I picked up a original M1863 TypeII Springfield, and it shoots dead on PoA at 50 yards, and groups well. But the concept of the minie ball I find fascinating.

    Would liek to get a M1816 smoothbore, but...

    Mostly, I'm looking at a gun to complete my original Springfield collection - something pre-1850. The accuracy question wouldn't be a deciding factor. Mostly, I just wanted to know if the gun was minute of man or less at 60 yards. I prolly wouldn't fire it more than a half dozen times a year -...

    Real 1858 remington

    Equally as important, ascertain this cylinder locks up well, and the gun is mechanically sound, if you intend to shoot it.

    61 Navy fell apart. (literally)

    Given these guns run about $250, my own judgment is that once they blow apart, I'll just buy another one. Others mileage may vary.... :v

    Even a cursory reading of his post will reveal he already addressed that. RIF :wink:

    61 Navy fell apart. (literally)

    What version of "accurate" does 60 yards get you? Minute of man, or better?
