    The loads you posted are likely in the 2000fps area or more, too much for a plain base boolit. I will second the advice from RickenTN. 12 grains or so of Unique under your boolit should group better...

    I agree with 725 and will add that rifle weight also has a substantial effect. Lighter the rifle the more effect. I shoot several different loads in my 45-70's, 525 at 1300, 410 at 1350 and 340 at...
