Default CVA Optima - 250 & 300 Lehighs

I will have this report up later tonight. I had an AWESOME group going with 100gr BH209, CCI 209M primers and the 250gr Lehigh in an orange sabot @ 100 yards and due to the barrels extreme heat " to hot to touch" shot 3 completely went off course.

I did try 110gr earlier so it was still pretty hot which explains the extreme heat of the barrel so i will redo the 100gr test later this evening.

The 110gr 250gr Lehigh load did great but the 100gr load put it to shame!

Will be testing the 300's in the red sabot as well with 100 and 110grs.

I got some Fiocchi primers as well but the first 2 shots, only the primer fired, put in a 209 mag primer, boom! Just not a hot enough primer to get the job done in this rifle it seems. More testing with those primers as well later on.
