Thanks all.

I’m trying to find a load that regulate on my Kodiak muzzleloader .58”
I know that the Kodiak it is not truly regulated, just have “some convergence”.

I shoot it only once (12 round balls and 7 REALs) from the bench. I put some sandbags over the bench and shot (on my knees) trying to keep my back straight up. Take the rifle and rest only my forward hand on the sandbags
With round balls (300gn) barrels are crossing about 2.5” at 25 meters.
With R.E.AL. bullets (440 gn) barrels are crossing about 4” at 50 meters.
Use only one owder charge, 82gn of FFFg black powder (the only I can get here).
I have to make more shooting to confirm this but I have been thinking that resting my hand too much on sandbags and or leaning forward can cause part of this crossing. That’s why I consider using sticks.

Thanks for your advises, I learn a lot here.
I will try just shooting off the bench.

Thanks
Martin

Martin both loads are too fast if they are crossing, and I'd bet they are printing low as well! Try backing off 2.0 grs,or use a heavier bullet, and the way you are holding the rifle is fine,unless you are placeing a sand bag under the butt of the rifle, then it is not fine. Though it would be better if you could stand on your feet! If you go to the sticks, place a sand bag or something soft on top that will allow you to hold the fore-end as if shooting off hand. Yor right elbow needs a rest as well, but the rifle should touch nothing but your hands,shoulder, and face!
