I was finally able to get my new to me CVA Optima V2 50 cal to the range today. I have to say I was very pleased with the results for the first time out with it. I was shooting 75g weighed of BH209, Federal 209A primers and the green crush rib sabots with 44 cal bullets. The Hornady 265g FN and Speer 270g FN were very similar in how they shot, right at a 2 1/2” group at 100 yards. The 300g XTP had a 2” group until I had a flier that brought the group to just over 4”. Looks like the 300g XTP deserves some more trials before I settle on the 265g. The think the groups could’ve been tighter, but I don’t shoot using a sled, probably should though.
Also, I think my groups got better as the gun got a little dirtier. I didn’t swab at all at the range, something I have never been able to do. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
