Put a scope on my new Impact and zeroed at 50 then went out to 100. First 2 245 powerbelts driven by 2 pellets of pyrodex were touching eachother at 100--but my third shot was maybe 3" below the first two. Conditions were very cold--barely 20 maybe and I was shooting directly into the sun--so I may have pulled the last shot a bit.
I'm noticing that I'm getting thick crusty residue after each shot which I cannot get out by simply dry-patching--I have to do a bore-solvent clean and dry patch in order to get the next bullet seating to match the depth and "sidewall pressure." I also just bought some Pyrodex RS powder as well as some Buckhorn 209.
My question(s) are
1. How dramatically can your clean regimen between shots effect accuracy?
2. What is the best powder in terms of least residue/best accuracy?
Thanks from a newbie to BP : )
