This didnt take long as I thought.thanks to you guys helping me out on here...I got a good inch group at 110 yards with standard deviation of 3 fps...Now I can experiment with lube...I'm thinking I may just have it all good now though, but I really didnt experiment with lube except for find a solid batch that didnt crumble or be too soft..Pedersoli 45/70, goexFF, lyman postel 535 grain, sized 457

Congratulations on finding that G-spo...err...sweet spot, Harpman, but I am curious...

Given the dimensions of most Pedersoli chambers (especially up in the throat) what made you decide on sizing your bullets down to .457"?

Try pan lubing and shooting unsized. My Postel casts at .458 and is accurate as cast.
