I have been shooting a new muzzleloader a CVA Paramount. I have been using triple 7(I have on order blackhorn 209 but not here yet). Also shooting Hornady SST 40 cal sabots and they have been dead accurate at 100 yards with 100 grains. I ran out and bought the same powder at a different store. Lot # is from this year 2019, the initial powder that shot well was from 2016. So I introduce this new powder same thing at 100 grains and I am missing a large rifle target and its up and down and all over the place, even at 50 yards sometimes missing the whole target maybe a foot off, or more. I was able to go to the original store and get more of the 2016 powder and groups were back to basically the same ragged hole at 100 yards. I did weigh both lots and the 2019 powder 100 by volume weighed 86 grains. The 2016 powder 100 by volume weighed 74 grains. It does combust and it kicks, doesnt feel weak. Just inaccuracy to the max. Any ideas? just get rid of the powder? use less grains was only thing i didn't try. I tried a couple shots at 130g by volume but that didn't help.
