The biggest tip for me was to grip the forestock (just as you would standing shooting) and rest the rifle-holding hand on the benchrest. I had been only resting the rifle on the rest without securing it and was getting nothing groups. This method I am doing quite well
Sounds real simple but I am definitely going to try this. When shooting modern unmentionables, I would lay the rifle on the rest and my left hand was up by my shoulder. I was getting good groups. But with my ml bp rifles, this method was not getting me the desired groups. I can’t explain this but it is worth a try.The biggest tip for me was to grip the forestock (just as you would standing shooting) and rest the rifle-holding hand on the benchrest.

Same here! It’s because of the lower muzzle velocity and probably as well from the longer delay with cap or flintlock compared with modern guns.
