You may get dissapointed. I have been shooting PP with black powder off and on for 25 years. I have yet to find a load that delivers consistent moa with PP I am close ( about 1.5 moa 5 + shots). Maybe you will get there quicker.
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

PP will deliver much better than MOA! My 4570 load delivers 1/2 to 3/4 MOA in a Marlin 1895 when you hold it right. 4570 in general deliver bench rest accuracy when loaded properly. Balance the load with a bullet that fits and you get excellant accuracy in most calibers.

I'd agree with 45 2.1 - PPB's are extrremely accurate WHEN "fitted" to the gun. It took me almost a year and a half, but I have a load that shoots MOA or better out to 540m with my Sharps. Load development, through adjusting variables.
