Hello fellow shooters. I am trying to work up an accurate 100 yard load for my 1853 pattern Euroarms Enfield. I have cast many minnies using the Lyman 577611LT mould. This creates a 530 grn conical minnie with a thick skirt. I have schuetzen 2fg powder and I use a combination mutten tallow/beeswax lube. It is sold through Dixie under the name "Old Zip". I can print tack driving groups that are about 2-3 inches high at 50 yards, but sometimes I do not even print on the paper at 100. The ballistic charts that I have studied tend to show that the round is climbing high after this and I just need to compensate by holding low. What are your thoughts?
