Default BH209 and Powerbelt Platinums!

Got out to the range today and found that i had over dressed big time! Its in the low 50's today. Shooting the CVA Accura with a new load of 120gr Blackhorn209 and the 270gr Powerbelt Platinums. First 3 shots were beautiful! I adjusted and took one more shot and the elevation is perfect but needs 2 clicks to the left to be right on. Oh man im excited! 3 shots at 100 yards into a 1" center to center group. Im not sure if i can improve on that much.

I ditched my Sight N clean gun rest, I felt it was causing accuracy problems due to the way it holds the rifle. I took a back pack stuffed in a jacket and then a Memory foam pillow and folded it over so the rifle would rest in between the pillow flaps. Perfect! Its not 100% steady but it sure as heck didnt hurt my groups today.
Sorry for the huge rip. My target box fell apart due to the 10" of snow that fell 2 days ago. I just taped this up to the bucket and the target ripped after 2 shots.


Have 2 more loads to try out before i call it a day.
