thanks for the replies guys... did you find the "average" gun capable of those kinds of groups??? did you have futz with the grains of powder to get tighter groups, or do you feel it's more the tight fit of the ball & patch or the consistent weight of the balls ( weigh them ??? ) & or loading routine???
For maximum accuracy, you will have to work up a load for your gun and bullet.
For competition, I size my minie balls quite tightly, and I weigh them and discard any outside of +/- .5% of average weight.
