Tried 10 rd of the .729 bullets, and 27 gr Universal Clays- some success! At 100 yd I can do about 10" crossing, and it seems there is some grouping- just on steel today due to crowded conditions. But- this is the best so far. I also found the Lancaster seems to like to be held very firmly, grip it and pull it in. So, crossing would indicate to me that I need less powder, or possibly a heavier bullet?

I am using Magtec brass cases, because I like them, and 3 each nitro and 1/2" fiber wads to get the height right. I am putting 40 lb of compression to the wad column, according to the MEC press. After cutting one of the H&H Paradox shells apart, they are using a much more solid wad column- wonder if more wad pressure, and therefore a denser column would matter? Something else to try.
