Cva optima v2 LR

[Blackpowder8bore]

I recently bought a cva optima v2LR with a Konus factory scope and it shoy touching groups right out of the box with 120grs of BH209 and 350 Harvester Sabretooths. It's awesome accurate. Not trying to change my load.
My question is does anybody have on game experience with these bullets?
What are the suitable for,deer and elk? The lead seems soft,readily expandable.

Congrats on your success with the setup. I agree with Eek. Your Shooting at the very top already and would have no problem on deer, elk or the random Bigfoot.

Thats deff " suitable " for deer, muley, elk, black bear, but you'll need to know your MV to run a ballistics app & see where your kinetic energy level stops being effective for those animals. Rule of thumb is 1000 ftlbs ke for deer, 1500 ftlbs ke for elk are the min. Where they fall on your drop chart will determine your " effective ethical hunting range " with that load.

Thanks for the info.and I used that load because it shot best.

It was most accurate at that level! I don't know why!

Shot placement is everything but I'd say in the wrong place with short/med range a meat destroyer !/Ed

I have the same one. Mine too is a tack driver. I hunted the first yr with the Konus scope. Killed a deer at 200 yds. This pass season i upgrade scope's. I put a Leupold 3x9x40mm Ultrimate Slam ML scope on it.
