I took the APEX smokeless out today for a quick trial. Should be in the 70's, but it was 40's & rain. I knew I'd have the range to myself. I have an automatic powder dispenser on order to speed up pre loading the charges. I moved my VX-R Firedot on to this barrel & did a quick bore sight. Right out of the gate, a tight 3 shot group at 50 yards. I the moved out to 100 took 2 shots, & then adjusted to the left & took 2 more. I over adjusted & that used up the loads I had made up. I have no doubt that this is going to be easily accurate beyond 200 yards.
The setup:
CVA APEX Slufoot conversion 45/70 barrel, 1-20 twist
10gr 4759
48gr 4198
Barnez T-EZ 250 sabotless
Fed 209A primer
2368fps
