Yesterday my new CVA Staghorn came in and man does this thing shoot!! Right out of the box I guessed a load just to make sure everything was working. I was shooting 100 grains of Triple Se7en and .45 caliber Hornady 300 grain XTP's. This rifle loved them. It shot an excellent tight group with them.

Today I shot the .45 caliber 300 grain Precision Bullet Silver Lightening Poly Tips. They shot fantastic. Even with the iron sights they outshot me. When there was one out of place I could tell it was because of me pulling the shot.

I also shot some of the .45 Caliber Hornady 300 grain SST's out of the Staghorn and it shot them real good. Nice tight group. I think I am going to put a red dot on this one and use it during our normal muzzleloader season and the Black Diamond all the rest of the time.

The Black Diamond XR liked the precision bullet silver lightenings. The SST's were like the XTP's a little hard to load and you had to clean between shots or you would not have loaded again. With the way the Black Diamond shot the Silver LIghtenings, I do not think reloading would have ever been an issue with the rifle.
