Default CVA Wolf & 240gr XTPs

Still trying to find the sweet load. Been shooting 90gr ffg Goex and not getting good accuracy, so this evening I tried 80gr, 100gr, and 110gr loads.
Still not great, but the best was 2" using 100gr of Goex (at 100 yards). I could deer hunt with that load, but I'd like to find something better.
(80gr was almost 5", 90gr was 2½", and 110gr opened back up to 2½")

The bullets/sabots came in a pre-packaged plastic case from the rack of the local WalMart, and the combo loads fairly easy in the Wolf. I was swabbing with a "spit patch" and a dry patch between each shot and loading didn't become noticeably more difficult until I had shot over 10 rounds.

I think I'll look for a tighter fitting combo!

Probably order some 250gr Barnes Expanders to try. They've been a pretty tight fit in all the inlines I've shot in the past.
