Hi C.Howey,

Ken gave a very good advise, i will follow his instructions and report it here.
Will post some pics about my Zouave and stuff here next time.
it must be a deal with the devil if we are unable to make the Zouave to a straight shooter

A whole ton of good amswers here. My experience with a EA Zouave was that the suggested .577 minis were so undersized that the minis were "key holing" or going thru a 50 yd target sideways. I had a custom bullet maker cast me a bunch of different types and size bullets. They were all sized and marked on the pkg. Found a couple that tightened up groups a whole lot using the same powder load. Then refined the load to get even smaller groups.
Main point is that even with the right diameter for your barrel, different projectiles will shoot different size groups. And sometimes you just get a bad barrel (or crown job) that won't group to your expectations no matter what you do.
Following the advice you've gotten here, your rifle should show you what its capable of. Do your part and you should do well. Good luck to you.

I want to thank everyone for their great ideas.

Just knowing there are some people that have had similar issues and are also trying to find - or have found - solutions gives me hope.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Ken,

that will be possibile but we have to change the typically bavarian food into some regional food we prefer here around the Cologne Area :wink:
