What type and size Minie are you shooting? What powder charge?
My first muzzleloader was a Zoli Zouave (Italian made) from the late '60s, bought new. From the bench, it would shoot a three shot 1" group, all day long, at 50 yards. I was using a Lyman 575213 Minie and 45 grains of FFFg DuPont (or Goex, later on). I was lucky in that I didn't have to size my Minies. They were a slipfit in the barrel.
Sure wish I could still shoot like that.
