Hi everyone. I'm new here, and also new to BP rifles. I purchased a CVA Accura V2 209 for deer hunting this season.
I've since put about 20 rounds through it trying to get it sighted in properly. I'm on paper at 100 yds, but consistently about 2" low of center and my rear sight is adjusted all the way up now. I'm reluctant to dive too far into the sights without some feedback, so I figured I'd run it past some experienced folks first.
Setup:
Fiocchi 209 primer
305 grain Traditions Smackdown 50 cal (sabot)
100 grains Blackhorn 209 powder
Not sure where to go from here. Intuition tells me I need a lower front sight, but again, I'm so new to muzzleloaders that it's possible I'm using a bad load combination, or something else. Anyway, appreciate any feedback you might have.
