I have a CVA kodiak 50 cal. I wanted maybe foolishly to reproduce a 45-70 equivalent load or more. I started using 405 grain swaged bullets in a MMP sabot and pyrodex RS 80, 90 100 grains. I am using small pistol primers (vari-flame) for ignition and I am using a seasoning patch followed by a dry patch between each shot. 3x9 scope. Actually my hawkin will produce groups just as well with iron sights!
I am switching to 777 and Win 777 209 primers and maybe powerbelt bullets and see if any improvement. I gladly would settle for 2 inch groups. But I really wanted to shoot those massive 405 grainers.
Any suggestions?
(Oh by the way, it is a problem with the load or the gun or the scope. It is not me. Moderate recoil does not bother my shooting. I have many centerfire rifles that shoot sub moa)
