Went to the range today and sighted in my new CVA Accura MR . I shot 12 rounds of Black horn 209 scale weighed to 70 gr. This pushed a 300 gr Hornady XTP in their red sabot. After a rough bore sight I was on the paper :yeah: with a 1/2 inch two shot group before any sight adjustments were made. A couple other rounds were sent down as I made adjustments and then I put eight shots in a 1 3/4 inch group high on the bullseye. I pulled a shot that opened up the group. My shoulder got a little tender after shot eight or so I can forgive the group opener shot uke:. Even still this is a very accurate load right out the gate. This was my first use of Black horn and I must say I am quite impressed with the stuff. I only needed to clean the breech plug every few shots with a 1/8 inch drill bit and flash hole tool. All rounds slid down the barrel - NO CRUD ring artyman: . Clean up was simple at home with a couple of wet patches, some soak time, then some dry patches, and finished off with a CLP patch. No need for o-rings or shims as blow back was minimal. This will be my hunting load for this season as I see no need to go experimenting for something better at the moment. Maybe next year I will look into Barnes or something oke: .
