CVA Accura; First shoot.

[TxTrapper]

After getting the Accura and coating it w/ Ultra Bore Coat and using Ultra Gun Shield. I took it out today.

Well; all went well . I started w/ 65gr. BH209 w/ the Hornady FPB, using the Rem. STS 209 primers. I put pink teflon on the breechplug.
Shot 7 times at 10yd's to adjust the open sights. The fiberoptics are nice but my eyesight just insn't what it use to be and hard to get a fine pic with it, kinda blurry. Anyway.
Everything went according to plan. When cleaning There was a little soot in the barrel but cleaned up very easy w/ hoppes #9. The BP had zero blowback and nothing even on the threads, acourse it was only 65grs. It cleaned up w/o any effort. Wiped er down and put it away for today. Thanks for all the help. Allen

sounds like a great rifle... and it sounds like you have a lot of fun. Also some of the reports on your rifle are very favorable as far as accuracy and blow back.. an excellent report.

CVA Accura


TX Trapper: When you get out to 100 yards try that FPB bullet w/80 grs. of BH209...you will like the groups. I enjoy mine w/that load out of a CVA Kodiak Magnum. I also did a performance test @ that distance & it resulted in PERFECT MUSHROOMs.

Good luck with the Accura. I have one in .45. I may try some tape on the BP. I get a bit of blow back a few threads in. Not a problem but why not try it.
