Both vent liners seem to make the rifle shoot higher. Both vent liners have been reliable in these limited test.
I loaded the rifle with 105g BH209, 300g 44 caliber xtp, smooth Harvester sabot, and W209 primer. The range was about 98yd. The last 4 shots i fired this morning are shown on this picture of the target:
Thank's for the update Ron, have you tried less powder in your ACCURA? from the groups it seems like they could be pulled closer. Or were you just testing the results from the BP's? I also tried the 300gr .44cal XTP's and wer'nt happy with them, this was a long time ago. Since then I changed to the .45cal 240gr XTP Mags, and also the 45.cal 300gr. XTP Mags, they shoot perfect out of My ACCURA and other CVA's. Keep us updated on any further results, again Thank's!
