2"-3" is the absolute best that I can get out of my TC Encore, on a very good day at 75 yds. At 100 yds that is a great group.

I don't think you'll get better than that in a muzzle loader no matter what powder you use. They pretty much shoot "minute of deer" And that .50  bullet punches a BIG hole.

 IMO you're doing the right thing by cleaning after every shot, you'd be getting a lot worse than 3" if you didn't. I do use a brush in addition to the patches.

Some centerfire rifles throw fliers until the bore gets fouled, I don't even count the first 2 shots through a clean barrel, your muzzle loader is clean before every shot.
