I'd known of Dutch Schoutz for many years, and have recently seen his accuracy system mentioned here. What intrigued me most, was the dry lube method that had been mentioned. So, I spent $15 to get the info from him, and I must say I am impressed. Something that first comes to attention, that the first shot out of a clean barrel, is in the group. The second thing, I like the idea, as it permits a patching system that will be good to leave a load in the rifle for weeks on end, with no powder contamination possiblities.
I have had some breech fouling I did some experimenting with, and seem to have worked around that particular problem. I suspect it is due to the dry conditions in this area.
Anyway, if you shoot patched round balls, I will recommend spending the $15 for the information he offers. I've been shooting ML's for 37 years, and learned some new tricks. Don't ask how to do it, there is enough information that it would not be possible to cover well here. Plus, Dutch is 81 years old, and I suspect he can use the extra income.

Here is a 50 yard target I shot this morning, with my .54 Mountain Rifle. I suspect if I could see better,and had target sights, it could easily be a one hole group. As it is, this one is right around one and a half inches. That is five shots.
