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.

IT SHOOTS GROUPS AT THE 100 YARD TARGET UNDER A 3/4 INCH GROUPS WITH PERCISION SABOT AND 110 GRAINS OF PYRODEX SELECT LOOSE POWDER.SPIT PATCH BETWEEN SHOT THEN ONE CLEAN PATCH NO SOLVENT http://www.prbullet.com/

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

Percison Dead Center in 200 gr. and 100 gr of Triple 7 1 in. groups @ 100
