I started inline with an inexpensive 50 cal. CVA model, I don't remember which one. It dearly loved Barnes 250 TEZ bullets. When I graduated to a V2 stainless Accura, I continued with those bullets. All was going pretty well until I tried to speed up the load with larger powder loads and BH 209. Eventually, I arrived at 200 grains, which resulted in bad groups and mostly uncontrollable recoil. So, coming back to my senses, I have reduced powder loads incrementally trying to get some resemblance of accuracy. I'm down to 110 grains of BH 2F and finding that I'm still shredding sabots with the Barnes bullets. I love the way they load, but now I'm looking at trying to find sabots that will hold up and get back to reasonable accuracy. Any suggestions appreciated.
