Can i ask you the powder load do you use and wich kind of grease?

Wiht the lee miniè, (i have two kind, one is very short, i think is the improved),
and a Lyman that cast a 510 grains (modern miniè?) i find difficolt to hit the target in the 50mt range!
The only miniè that give good results is a Pedersoli mold that cast a 640 grains miniè with small and flat cavity!
I shoot in the 50 mt range that's the distance for muzzleload competition in stand up position!
I have 2 zouave, one three rifle barrel and one seven rifle "mach" barrel, plus 1863 springfield, but in the time i had a colt special contract musket (signature series) and a enfield mosketoon!
At the time the best in my hands is the standard 3 rifle zouave.
I'm courious why me and my friends that compete in the national muzzleloader championship here in italy find very difficolt to get good precision with the .58 rifed musket, and we have the same Italian made replica musket that is today all over the word (many are really poor and junk pieces)
ciao
