I had some time this am so I decided to get the optima v2 out and finish dialing in for this fall. It has a Sig Romeo5 1x20 red dot as we are restricted to 1x here for optics during the muzzleloading season.

300 gr Harvester Scorpion PT, crush rib sabot, 2 - 50 gr IMR white hots & Winchester T7 209 primer.

After dialing in, I went to put 3 on paper for a group, swabbing between each shot, 75 yards. Needless to say I was happy.

Nice shooting! Glad you got it all dialed in.

I still have to figure out what gun/caliber and then bullet/powder i want to use!
 
I was very happy with it. Ran some other bullets and sabot combos downrange and they all shot acceptable but I really do prefer the harvester bullets and sabots so far.

It was also my first time using an oring in front of the primer, eliminated all blowback into the action and one oring lasted the entire morning and probably would have went a lot longer, I just removed it and tossed it when cleaning the breech plug.

By chance, when I was cleaning everything up in the kitchen afterwards I had left my breech plug cleaning solution in the truck, so I just sprayed it with dawn powerwash. Man that stuff works to loosen up all the crud and you can hold the nozzle up against it primer pocket to force it inside too. Wife gave me the stink eye when she came out and I had everything laying on the kitchen table.

I was using the mobile rifle rest out on a buddies farm.
