Shooting a Highwall .45-70 and I'm a bit frustrated. Load is 6 gr SR4759 under 60 gr Swiss 1.5 FG with a card wad under a Lyman 457125, 30:1 alloy that weighs 530 gr. Tang sight....

Now the hole at 10 o'clock is not related to the group of 5, centered around the X-ring. That was shot by my buddy Muffin with a bag rest.

Thought I'd try a different approach and got this results.

What I can't figure out is why I can't get one ragged hole for starters, and why I shoot higher than Muffin with the same load. Puzzled I am.

Tips would be appreciated. Should I install the scope? Maybe wipe the bore between shots? Change my shorts? Why does each target have two thru the same hole but the others are out in Kansas?
