Firebolt Ultramag and accuracy
 

I just bought a CVA Firebolt Ultramag and it seems that the accuracy is very bad.I was at the range the other day and sighted it in for 100 yards,I got a 3" group with 3 shots and loaded the 4th shot and it didn't even hit the target.I had thought at first that it was the 8 Point Simmons scope I was using but it couldn't be because the scope is shock proof.So,I loaded the 5th shot after I cleaned the barrel and it didn't hit the target either.I'm using 100grains of pyrodex pellets and a 195 grain powerbelt aero-tipped bullet.I don't know whether it is the gun or the load but it is really making an impression on CVA.If any one has a CVA Firebolt Ultramag and has experienced this please post a reply.I would also like to find some interesting loads for this ML that would be more accurate at atleast 100yards.26" flutted barrel..45 cal.

My son and I just got CVA Hunterbolts and found that with the 100 gr pellets accuracy was so-so. Went with 90 gr. Pyrodex & accuracy improved greatly. We were using 295 and 245 powerbelt bullets. Actually, the 245's shoot the best. You just have to try and find what YOUR gun likes. Vern
