    CVA Optima and BH209 Advice Needed

    I agree, many thanks for your feedback and sharing knowledge. I'm trying the xtp 300 .45 with 100(70g) and 110(77) of bh209 all with harvester black sabots. Will share my results once I get dialed in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    CVA Optima and BH209 Advice Needed

    So it's only a size difference? I plan on using black harvester sabots, with the xtp 300gn .45 cal with BH powder. Unless someone suggests I go with the xtp 300gn .44cal. I'm using this for whitetail, but I've also pulled elk tags. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Sent from my iPad...

    I bought the .45 cal xtp 300gr. Will I see major differences between the .44 and .45? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Do you read in your deestand ?

    Completely agree! I pray while in the stand, take time to reflect on life, enjoy nature. And when I take a deer I always thank god for the harvest and blessing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hornady sst

    I cleaned the gun tonight and for one shot, it was really gunked up for lack of better terms. The pellets were either too old or I didn't clean the barrel property.

    Hornady sst

    Greatly appreciate all of your feedback and experience. Being I bought BH I just need to get to the range. That 9pt was pretty and I feel fortunate he dropped within 40 yards bc there was almost no blood trail. Regardless the cost of powder or bullets, it's not worth wounding or losing a deer...

    Hornady sst

    I've already purchased bp209 powder, the breech plug, xtp's and only need sabots. So it's my intention to change. Was olny hoping until after this season. Sorry, long answer to get to yes. [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Hornady sst

    Re: RE: Re: Hornady sst I couldn't tell you to be honest. The pellets are from last year. But I used the same batch to sight in the gun. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Hornady sst

    Hi I'm new to the board and have found some great information shared here. Today I had an issure with a Hornady I though I'd share. I bought 300gr sst and sighted in at a relatively decent group at 50 yards. I don't get the opportunity for long shots where I hunt. I used two T7 pellets with...
