Hi all, just wondering where to start with this gun. This is year 3 with this gun and I had 'ok' groups to 25 yards...after that is all over the map. It is SO bad that ... I went to the range in wexford and could not tell where or IF I hit the large 3-ft by 4 ft target. Granted, that thing had a lot of holes in it but there were not ANY around a typical target sheet. Where do i go from here? I am using Goex powder and 90 grains with a .50 CALIBER / 245 GRAIN / HOLLOW POINT COPPER Powerbelt.
I just dont know what to move or start working with first to make things better? Should I keep tinkering with the sights? Should I adjust the load grains? Should I go for a heavier or lighter powerbelt? a different type etc? I would really like to stick with the powerbelts for their ease of use and loading. What have other Traditions Deerstalker users had success with? Please dont say buy another gun..I know this is a basic gun but I think it can do way better than this.
