1st day out with new Accura
 

I'm posting this everywhere 'cause I'm glad to get out and shoot the new .45 despite the cold & snow (if Dan can do it in 12 degree weather there is no excuse for me. It was a blamy 24 degrees).

Mounted a 2.5-10x40 Bushnell Elite 4200 using Durasight mounts.

After getting her on paper I shot these two 5 shot groups with two different bullets & charges. This was at 50 yds only. Then it started to snow heavy and they closed the range. The 180gr XTPs which came with a tan sabot loaded with extreme difficulty from a clean barrel. It only got marginally better with a fouled bore. The Barnes loaded slightly easier. I have no Harvesters or MMPs in 45 cal yet.

Next time out I will try at 100 yds. and experiment more. I will take any sugestions for the 45 cal.

Oh yeah...using a trigger pull gauge I got an average of 2lbs. 5oz after 10 pulls. This trigger is sweet.

Hope the pics come out!

you have to copy the HTTP link and then paste it in that little yellow box with the 2 mountains and the sun.

Purty good groups there. Tell me something how do you like the thumbhole stock? I bought a optmia pro with a thumbhole stock for my wife the other day.

I wasn't sure but I kinda like it. I have a Pro Hunter without it so this is the first one I've owned. I have shot 2 different optimas with thumholes though. Liked them too!

That's some real good shooting there. And that's a beautiful rifle.
