Default Bullet suggestions for CVA Optima

I have a CVA Optima 50 cal. I have been shooting the 295 gr. Aerotip Powerbelts and 2 pellets of Triple 7. I just haven't been able to get to hold any groups. Every time I go shoot it is the same thing. Mostly alll the shots are within a paper plate size area at 100 yards, but I can't get them any closer. Most times i am to the left of the bulls eye ceter but occasionally I am some right. Same with up and down. There just is no consitency. I clean between every shot with a damp path and 1-2 dry patches. I was playing around the other day and tried a few Winchester 260 gr. sabots that my cousin gave me. The first one shot with the Powerbelts. The second was the closest to the bulls eye and the next three missed the target completely.

I am looking for suggestions on a bullet to try with Triple Seven. I was thinking maybe the Powerbelt Aerolites would maybe be a better choice or trying the Hornady SST. Since I would like to stay with pellets I was also consider the IMR White Hots since CVA recommends them, but don't I don't know much about them. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
