Hi Adam;
Been there, done that....I've tried different volumes and granulations of powder, different lubes, with a wad on the base and without a wad on the base.....doesn't seem to matter. I get great accuracy out to 25-50 yards, after that, I'm shooting patterns (with the LEE R*E*A*L bullets)

Hollow base conicals, such as the minie, are a different story....I had to go to the oversized minie that LEE sells, but once I did that accuracy improved significantly. I also have good luck with the T/C maxiball and maxihunter conicals.

The only thing that I can think of is the length of the projectile just isn't conducive to long range shooting in my rifle.:( If you have any other suggestions, I'm more than willing to listen.:)

For an update,went hunting this weekend and while we were eating lunch I had a friend of mine try the REAL bullets in his inline.They shot great,even out at the longer ranges.I guess the faster twist helps them.
