I would like to help you but for a few items:

You must slug your barrel and state the groove to groove diameter.

The .50 caliber is fairly forgiving but it is best to shoot the correct diameter for the most rewarding accuracy.

The cast bullets must all be of the same material for shot to shot uniformity.

The 50-70 works best with the 450 grain bullet.

I shoot only Black Powder.
