Gonna work on trying to tighten up my longer range groups. She does great at 50 yards (2" - 2-1/2" groups), however at 75 yards, she opens up to barely minute-of-deer (6 inches, sometimes more). Who woulda' thunk that the extra 25 yards could make that much difference?
The 50-yard groups are about the same with just about any powder, load volume or patch thickness. However, at 75 yards, the hotter loads seem to be a little tighter. That's why I'm going to work on nothing but loads at longer ranges today using Swiss Powder it's (hotter than the Goex I've been using), and trying different patch thicknesses.
I'm also gonna work with several different strengths of eye glasses. I believe part of the problem lies in my tired old eyes not being to focus as finely as they used to when I could shoot consistent 3" groups at 100 yards with the factory sights on my TC Hawken.
I'll post results and pictures and then get y'alls opinions on what I'm doing wrong.
