The Pedersoli's are capable of some astounding BP accuracy w/ Postell-type/weight* bullets. But they have to be proper sized (.459).

I'd also suggest 64-65gr Swiss 1½ under such a Postell design/diameter (either Lyman's, Hoch's, or Paul Jones w/ last grease groove just covered) under a 0.62 card wad compressed ~0.17"-ish or so.

Be sure to use a BP-type/soft lube (DGL, SPG, and/or Crisco beeswax & you-name-it)

* 520-540gr
