I'm having a hard time trying to figure out this muzzleloader. Remington 700ml, Leupold rings and bases, Nikon scope, 120 gr pyrodex rs, #11 Remington percussion caps, .44 cal 240 gr xtp, green harvester crushed rib sabot. Scope and bases are good. First shot from clean barrel is always a flyer it seems. The gun has grouped well after that first shot. This last range trip the point of impact shifted and I can't figure out why.
First shot was right on the money which is unusual. Clean barrel first shot is usually high left. Shots two and three were high left. I adjusted the scope and shot 4 and 5 back on target. The next three shots were shot at 150 yd target and they were high left. The last two shots back high and left at 100 yds. I run a tight dry patch between shots. The barrel wasn't too hot although I didn't wait too long between shots. No wind at all. I'm not a benchrest guy but not the shooter here. I reset the turrets back to where they were and will see if that clean bore shot is repeatable. What do you guys think?
