Zoli mississipi group sizes

[SolidLeadSlug]

Wondering what kind of groups you are all getting with early zoli mississipi rifles.

So far i can only manage to get 4 inch groups at 110 yards shoots POA.

Current load is .562RB 60g 1.5 swiss, .020 ox yoke patch and german caps.

Same groups are attained with a lee 500g minie.

I don't own one but that sounds like pretty good accuracy from 110 yards, certainly deer killing size.

I certainly hope so. I've only shot minies and haven't done much with PRBs so I don't know what it's limits are at those distances

From what I've seen and done with zoli rifles I'd say thats pretty decent. Don't have the Mississippi but I've got a zouave and buffalo hunter.

Both shoot tight round ball loads well, a .575 ball, .018 patch and 80 grains 2f. Neither one likes 500 gr minie that great and i have 3 sizes to choose from. Although both shoot the 315 gr wad cutter minie quite well.

I can manage 2-4 inch groups at 100yd with those loads from a bench, as long as i do my part and the stars are in alignment

My experience with a Zoli Zouave is similar. I think 4” is pretty decent for that. At 110 yards with open sights I’d be happy.

That's good to hear the results are similar. Trying to bring my .408 swiss muzzloader on target is proving tough so the zoli it is
