(I also posted this on the revolvers forum, but I'm looking for all the good advice I can get.)
My 45 Hunter w/scope shot an average of 1" at 20 yards with the load I had today. I move out to 50 yards and it shot an average of 5" groups. I don't consider 1" at 20 yards anything spectacular, but it's not bad either. So how are my groups so bad a 50? The crosshairs were dead center: I don't think it was the shooter. It's not the scope either. So what makes a bullet accurate at 20 and all over the place at 50? Help!
BTW, the load was 255 gr Keith (Missouri Bullets), WLP, 9.0 gr Unique, Starline cases. Also, I shot these from a solid rest and sandbags.
