Default Added some weight to the Lead Sled

Never planned on using it but finally i got tired of the bag being empty and so i filled it up with sand. It only added 7lbs but 30lbs overall with the lead sled weight included. I really havent shot it off my shooting table yet so i dont know if i will notice the extra 7lbs or not.



One problem i ran into was the bag got in the way of the elevation adjustment.


Apex with the 245gr Powerbelts, 90gr BH209 @ 100 yards. Highest shot was on a recently cleaned bore.

On the line accuracy to say the least LOL.

Isnt the Apex CVA's top of the line muzzleloader? It doesnt seem like you shoot that one very often.

How many in-lines do you own? Which one is your favorite?

I'm just curious MD.

i own the Apex, wolf, optima "2", accura v2.

To be honest i love the Optima the best. The V2 comes in second place.

For the price, the optima is just to hard to beat, SS, Light weight, QRBP, my trigger is 2lbs 1oz with no grit or creep. Its just one of those guns that grew on me. I have both a non thumbhole and a thumbhole. The non thumbhole is a bit small for me in the grip area, i have big have and have to use the second flashy part of my knuckle to squeeze the trigger, thats one reason i ordered a thumbhole version is to see if it allows me to use the fleshy part of my digit like you're supposed to LOL.

No gun lacks in the accuracy department. That $180 Wolf actually gives the Apex a hard run for its money.
