Primer Wads

[jgh4445]

Guys, I'm new at this BP cartridge loading. Don and MeHavey have been awesome as far as helping. This tissue/news print stuff is really surprising to me. Now, with 65 grains of Swiss2F I shot a couple of really good 5 shot groups. At 70 grains the groups opened up a bit. From your experience, will an increase up to say, 72.5 or even 75 gr. and maybe dropping one of the veggie wads tighten or worsen the group? I could add a bit of compression to make up for the extra powder. Keep in mind, I'm not a competition shooter. I'm a hunter but am anal about accuracy. With 65 grains the bullet seems to take a long time to hit the one hundred yard berm. Seems to go a lot faster with 70 grains. I'm thinking a deer at 100 yds might could possibly move before the 65 grain load got there. Even a one step move could result in a wounded animal. I doubt they could move out of the way with the 70 gr load. or at least that what the impacts sound like from the two loads. Just want to make sure I have as much energy on target as possible at 100 yds and use a fast enough bullet they can't get out of the way in time. To recap, my rifle does not like light bullets. 405 grainers shoot horribly. The 500 gr govt RN and the Lyman Postell shoot just fine.
