Need advise with Accura please.....
I own several black powder weapons and have always been able to dial in good groups. But the Accura I have is very inconsistant. I have a 50cal knight and a 45 cal CVA elkhorn. Both will hold a 1" group at 100 yards.
Here is my problem, 2 years ago i purchased a new Accura believing the marketing materials as being the most out of the box accurate out there. First winter i put a Simons pro 50 on it and tried diffrent powder vrs bullet load configurations. This time last year, I was convinced that perhaps the scope was part of the problem so i went out and got a BDC scope. Same problem with consistance, so I hunted with one of the other weapons. Now i am back to giving it one last try before replacing the gun forever. I have given my other 2 guns to my kids that have started to hunt so I really need to figure this out.
I have tried pyrodex and tripple seven powders, i have always shot ballistic tip sabots with great sucess. so i am using the same as i shot (and my son still shoots) in the Knight. I have tried 100 & 150 grains of powder and from 200 to 250 grain bullets. Some are slightly better than others but overall the gun can be 8-10 inches off with no consistant pattern. I have also been using a lead slead or vise on the gun.
Believe me when i say that i am not new to shooting or dialing in guns but this one really has challanged my knoledge. All of my weapons are dialed into a 1" grouping @100yrd or it will not say at my house.
Has anyone else had this issue with the accura or am I just the unluck one? I am hopeing that someone has experience in this area and can help with an accurate load configuration.
Thanks
