Having problems with a new CVA accura LRX. First shot loading is fine but the next shots I cannot get the power belt bullet to the powder. It stays an inch and 1/2 up the barrel. Win 209/ 2 white hot pellets and a 245 gr power belt bullet. Will going to sabots help?

I've never used those white hots.
Kinda sounds like you're getting a crud ring buildup.
Different bullet, powder?
You'd have to try something else to see if that helps.

go with black horn powder and end all your problems. pellets/777 and other powders will mess you up. i can
load 25 shoots with out ever cleaning using BH. go get some! or get use to swabbing between shots.

Are you wet patching between shots? I was, and by the third shot it was difficult to load. I was doing a one pass only, in and out. . Someone recommended I move the patch up and down a few times at the bottom of the barrel, and I found three times works well with pyrodex pellets. Followed by a dry patch.
