I recently bought a new CVA Wolf (blue/black). Been experimenting with various bullet/sabot combinations & powder combinations.
Tried some 250gr Barnes Expanders today (my favorite hunting bullet) over 100gr Pyrodex R/S. 100 yd group was good even with one shot I pulled, but the first shot on a clean & dry (no oil) barrel was about 3" high/right. Still in "minute of deer", but I would prefer to have it right in the group.
I'll try again a time or two before season, but if it likes to have a fouled bore I'm wondering if I can come up with a method I can use here at home (live in town so I want to avoid loud noise) to foul it before I load for hunting.
Would a primer & empty sabot (no bullet) be a possibility?
