I've got a Traditions Buckhunter Pro in-line .50 cal pistol (stainless with 9 1/2" barrel) like this:

and I can't hit the broadside of a barn with it. It's got a 1:28 twist, so I am not surprised with the poor accuracy I get from patched roundball. I've tried 240 gr. .44 cal. bullets in sabot with 60-70grains pyrodex loose powder like the mfr. recommends to no avail. I rarely can hit one of those ~16" orange square 100yd sight-in targets from 20 yards offhand. I would like to be able to hunt whitetails from about 30-40 yards, but I'm no where close to that kind of accuracy now.
Any suggestions besides sell it?
