So I went to the range today taking along .430 240gr xtp with green harvester sabots, 777 pellets, 777 primers because I had last years supply left and wanted rid of it. I fired 4 caps to foul the bore and loaded 2 pellets and the bullet and fired and hit 1 o'clock from the bull about 3'' high so fired again and now its 3-4'' left about 8 o'clock, barrel cooled and fired 3rd shot and hit about 2'' left of bull, fired 4th shot and 12 o'clock, 5th shot was at 7 o'clock. I swabbed the barrel and still got crazy shots so I scrubbed out the crud ring and still shooting crazy.
I found about 5 250gr Shockwaves and fired one from a primer fouled bore and it hit dead center bull. Fired #2 shockwave and it hit 2'' high, #3-4 shot with #2 and gave me about a 2'' group. I'm worried now that I have ordered 300g .452 xtp and crush rib and smooth sabots that ill be wasting money of the 240gr bullets shotgun. I plan on using BH-209 with the 300gr bullets but it still has me worried ill be out $30 in bullets and sabots.
what you guys think?
Another issue i ran into today was the pellet or loose breech plugs wouldnt thread all the way in and seemed to be catching about 1/4 way in. I scrubbed out the threads and noticed a large bur on the threads inside the barrel so i took a small flat hear screw driver and snapped it off and both plugs felt a little tight in and out but have now loosened up. whats the deal with that?
Another thing i noticed today is my cva optima v2 has a lighter trigger then my savage accu trigger. Is it possible someone did a trigger job on this ML?
