RE: Accura
So far, I've only tried 200 grain 10mm XTPs in blue MMP 50/40 sabots and 300 grain XTPs in Harvester crushed rib 50/45 sabots. Both load great and shoot well. The 200 grainers actually shot the best probably because the sabots were just a wee bit tighter. http://i35.tinypic.com/2ic19as.jpg The 300s have done about 1.5" 3-shot groups for me. I think they could do better with some tweaking or maybe go to the MMP Short Black sabot instead of the crushed rib.
I did shoot just a few of my UC Shorts through the black one. It didn't like them but I think I had some bad alloy in the pot when I cast those. Will try some again later. Both rifles are sighted in at 100 yards with 90 grains BH209 (60.6 grains weight), 300 grain XTP inblack crushed rib sabot, and Win209 primer.

RE: Accura
When I look at the picture of that rifle.. I'm always amazed at how much these muzzleloaders have advanced in appearance and function. That rifle is beautiful, but really looks high tech. I kind of like it.
