CVA Apex 45 SML with BCB 285 grain bullet

[BuckDoeHunter]

Nice morning at the range, no wind, temp around 70*F

So far, my Apex 45-70 SML is not picky about bullets, I shot this 5 shot group off my homemade rice filled bag. I was very pleased with the results.

BearCreekBallistics .451 285gr all copper ball point bullet, the bullet was smooth sized with a loose fit and knurled back up, loading pressure was light-med.

Federal LRMP with brass module and .060 veggie wad

Duplex load of 6gr N110 with 50gr IMR4198, 100yds, Pictures 1-5 taken after each shot, it's interesting for me that shots 1 and 2 were the same hole, 3 and 4 were the same hole, and 5 went back into shots 1 and 2

Good shooting, and report.

You have an accurate one.

Some combination! The bullet is quite impressive it seems. Very accurate, and very good terminal performance! Not many bullets work good at slow speeds, and fast speeds like this one. Then to be super accurate is quite something. Should be an excellent hunting bullet at any reasonable range; perhaps even further.

Excellent shooting!
