One thing I was reminded of this week and maybe I don't consider it enough coming from a centerfire background where I worried about an action being blueprinted, about neck tension, about bullet jump ,about primers, about nodes up and down the powder load. When a good bullet gets the right pressure and swells it's going to perform its best, these two things when they are balanced most of the time give me the accuracy that I'm looking for, I don't shoot solid barns Etc type bullets I know some people do I'm sure that that is getting the back of the bullet sealed and the gas sealed correctly. Even with the plastic load I think it is the same dynamic I guess where I'm going with this is if you're going to shoot a particular bullet just because the first couple of groups maybe even the first three groups aren't what you want keep working that charge up slightly or down slightly it is amazing what just a slight bump up or down can do actually in a muzzle loading barrel the dynamics of great harmonics shouldn't be so complex not near as much as they are in a centerfire I think a lot of us have complexity because a lot of us are dealing with bores that are uneven. That's a whole other topic,,,,, I think it is more finding a bullets sweet spot than a rifles ,not that the rifle doesn't have a sweet spot for a favorite powder Etc I think we focused too much sometimes on the rifle and not enough on the bullet.
