Default Finally

As ya'll may remember, I had been having some accuracy issues with my CVA optima Pro. I called CVA a few months back and they sent me a brand new gun. I had ordered a case of Blachorn 209 as recommended by sabotloader and it finally cooled off enough to go and try it out. I'm impressed to say the least. I shot 12 conicals coated with JB's just to smooth out the new barrell and then got down to business with 110 grains of BH 209, MMP 24 sabot, and a Nosler .451 260 grain HP.

Nice shooting! I'm glad that CVA stood behind their product. Congrats on the fine group.

nice bigtimer. I had good results with 100 gr (2 50/50 Pyrodex pellets) and 245 gr Powerbelt in my Optima Pro when I had it.

Very nice shooting there. That's the way to put them in there.
