[QUOTE="Elite Muzzleloader, post: 603724, member: 30759"] Encore, Thanks for the compliment.:D When I shoot I do everything exactly the same way from day one. There are days when I get very frustrated because I can't get my gun to zero. With that being said it is only because I am stubborn and want to shoot a specific bullet and my gun doesn't want too. For instant my new to me cva optima elite didn't want to shoot my 200 grain shockwave instead it wants to shoot the 300 grain SST. I haven't had a chance to try out the Barnes 290 TMZ or any of the other Barnes bullets, ran out of powder. But I am getting to that soon. :D Either way from what I have seen when you get a flyier it tends to be from the human error factor. Every time I get one I look back at what I did and remember that I didn't settle my powder the same way as before or something else. Another reason why is I switched to a different tip for my ramrod to prevent from pushing in my ballistic tip which was another reason why I had a flyier, I was pushing in the tip while pushing down the bullet. Muzzleloaders have come a long ways from the old days and are almost as accurate as some center fire rifles. However they are still muzzleloaders and are sometimes as picky as the oppisite sex!!! This is why we enjoy having them around, must be in our nature!!! :D That is an awesome group for 150 yards, great shooting!! Elite [/QUOTE]
