CVA Mag Hunter
Bushnell scope (cheap)
100 grains of Goex Pinnacle 3F
200 grain Shockwave
Winchester 777 primers

A few days ago i noticed that my supply of Winchester 209 shotgun primers was getting low. China Outlets had only the Winchester 777 primers; i bought a pack at $6.97.

Took my CVA Mag Hunter out today to sight it in for the 200 grain Shockwave bullet. Had removed the scope from that gun awhile back and put on a Bushnell 3X9 with thick crosshairs. The gun was boresighted with a laser boresighter before leaving for the range. Scope was set on 4X and left there.

Put my target at 25 meters and fired a round. The bullet hit about 5" directly below the center of the bull. Made my scope adjustments and put three bullets in a .5" group one inch above the aiming point.

Took the target to 100 meters. First bullet went 6" above the point of aim. Made my adjustments and fired one round that impacted 2" above the point of aim. Fired a three shot group that strung vertically for 5" centered on the bull. Checked the scope mounting and all was well. Checked the screw that holds the barrel/receiver to the stock and all was well there too.
Fired another three shot group that strung vertically for about 6" centered on the bull.

Went to using 209 shotgun primers and shot a cloverleaf group that measured about 1.5" centered 2" above point of aim. Shot another cloverleaf group that measured about 1.25" centered 2" above the point of aim. Shot a third group that measured about 1.25" and quit. Looks minute of doe accuracy to me.

Apparently those Winchester 777 primers were giving inconsistent ignition. Also noticed that the Winchester 777 primers leave a lot more residue in the barrel than the Winchester shotgun primers do. It is much easier to load a barrel that is fouled using a Winchester shotgun primer.
