My rifle will shoot a patched round ball on top of 60 grains of powder far more accurately. They work well for penetration, but I've never found them to be the most accurate choice. You could try the Maxi-balls, but in my experience its the same flat base hard alloy bullets TC makes. If you dont like recoil 80 grains will kill just fine also. With your 24' barrel I bet you could burn 100 grains without getting into diminishing returns to badly. My favorite load in my 26' barrel Knight is 100 or 110 grains of 777 FFG pushing a (360 extreme saboted bullet) or (375 Buffalo bullets SSB). They have a cupped base and are much softer lead. I've had good luck with the Hornady Great plains maxi bullets as well as all the offerings from Buffalo bullets (think they shut down). If its not a clean deep imprint look for a different bullet. This will allow you to collect the bullet and see how the rifeling imprinted on it. Line up a few milk jugs of water and shoot them at as far away as you can hit. (disregard if this was shot without a rest)

You should strive for much better than that. Oh and 2' at 25 yards isnt good accuracy for a muzzleloader. Woks pretty well with tight fitting patched round balls also if the powder charge is kept low even though it shouldnt be. But these TC bullets have a pretty flat base rather than a cuped base like most others.ġ:48 or maybe ever 1:32 works well with those bullets in my experience.ġ:28 is great for sabots and other plastic gas seal type bullets. The base is supposed to expand at fireing and seal the bore and engage the rifleing. They often strip the rifleing and do what you describe.
