Default CVA Accura V2 - 260gr PT Gold

Took the V2 Accura out to my 153 yard range this afternoon. Started with 100gr BH209, 260gr Harvester PT Gold in a the long black crush rib sabot.

In the shade cooling down,



Fired 3 shots "Bottom left" without a cool down, Then fired 3 more shots"Top Left" with a 3 minute cool down in between shots. Group was okay but i wanted better.


Went back and loaded up 3 more tubes but used 110gr BH209 " Bottom Right corner bulls eye" That load is a keeper! The lone shot in the upper right bulls eye was an old tube with i THINK 90gr BH209.

Cut the target out, wrote down the load info on the back and hung it on my target wall.


Time to gather supplies for a bullet test.

Heres what the bullets look like,

One thing MD... can not say that I can always put a lot of stock in your posts, but you are one heck of a photographer (and I mean that). You really know how to pose your supplies to get your advertising out.

Excellent pictures, what camera are you using?

Its something like a $200 Nikon. Im not sure about megapixel.

I like good looking pictures, why settle for less when you can take the extra time and get pics that really show things?

You should see some of the pics i've taken of my ex's! Wooooohoooo. LOL

Nikon COOLPIX L18 8MP max.....under $100 if you know where to look.
GIMP Software 2.6.4 used for creation
800x600
72DPI
24bit color
Date 3/17/2011 Time 6:27PM (bullet on rock pic) although that can vary since he said the targets were taken today and its easy to alter date/time.

Anything else you want to know about the metadata?

I use a Blackberry Storm 2..............

I have been shooting 260 and 300gr PT's for a year. They are a one hole 3 shot bullet if ran with 105-110gr of BH209 at 100yds in my Encore Bergara barrel. I use Harvester smooth sabots as they can still be seated by hand. The 300gr bullets if put on a scale usually run around 304grains.

Since Muley Hunter cannot use them in Co during the muzzleloader season I will have 40 headed East very soon.

I bet the .300 gr would be a deer slaying bullet.. any terminal performance input? Ray
