Default first outing with the wolf

I was racing the weather, calling for rain and t-storms. I won this time. was shocked on how fast I got it in. pretty much 3 shots at 25yrds. two more just to checked moved back to 50yrds

CVA Wolf
pyrodex pellets(two pellets per shot)
295gr hp powerbelts
cci 209m

this may not be my main load, I am not an pellet fan, I cast my own stuff so powerbelts are hard for me to get myself to buy. tell ya, sure is going to be an good back up load from what I am seeing

50yrd target, I put 3 shots about .25in group darn flyer killed it.


story on this next target is, it was my 25yrd site in target. I was not going to post it, so I just taped my the target above on it. how they lined up. it was an clean area on the target. it is an witness target to the one above.


tc surefire. tc mag sabots


I always have something go wrong at the range. I dry ball, forget something I need, base come loose, go the wrong way on my sights or just have a brain fart.

the wolf, went great. no problems
I had my nagant that I put an scout scope set up on. the base came loose and walked all over the place. I have to lock tight the lock down screw.

I knew you would like that rifle. You should have shot a few at 100 yards and really impressed yourself.

most of the holes in the middle target are from my nagant. two at the bottom left are the first two shots of the whole day

I just noticed you used the 295 powerbelts. The 250 aerolites i sent you should do just as good! I'll send you some 300gr Aerolites.
