[QUOTE="Joefrazell, post: 1467031, member: 101262"] Hardly lon range but I'm looking for some input from anyone with experience with side lock percussion muzzleloaders. I'm shooting a traditions. 54 cal. Trying to get this ready for hunting elk here next month. What kinda accuracy should I see with a conical? We're not allowed to use sabots in idaho. I'm using hornady grain plains 425 gr with 70 gr. Of pyradex. 70 shoots better then 80 or 90 gr. it's shooting about a 12" group at 100 yards. I've tried a 405 gr powerbelt and it was all over. Shot ok at 70 yards and at 80 wouldn't group at all. I'm shooting off bags prone. Is this typical accuracy and the best it'll do? [/QUOTE]
