I have the CVA Accura V2 I bought in 2013. Its the SS barrel I did not have much success with Buck Horn powder or any Pyrodex pellets. I shoot the regular 209 primers.
I shoot Shockey's Gold loose powder with 100 grains, by volume, with a Hornady 250 grain XTP or XP jacket sabot. Its a tack driver now. 150 grains of powder was horrible. Killed a huge iowa 9 pt in 2014 at 130 yds and IL 8 pt with it this year point blank. I really like it now for sure, the breech plug can be a pain.
You should always keep one or two extra breech plugs handy. I buy them on-line and they always come with the wrench to install and pull out the breech plug. Its a good idea to use the CVA Accura breech plug wrench each time you put it in. If it not snug the hammer sticks which is bad when its crunch time.
Ive replace a few breech plugs for various reasons the past three years.
Be sure to keep the firing pin lubricated. It can get corroed Its seized up in Iowa once on me

And this one comes with everything but not "nitride" black.

After you seat the BP the first time, and back it out, you do not need to use it again, just screw it back in finger tight, when done, unscrew it with your fingers, I have done it the same way with 8 that I have set up, and they only needed it for the first time to seat the breech plug.

It comes with the drill. You don't really need the wrench, or the o-rings if you use shims.
I will admit the pin vice to hold the drill is handy.
I'm just saying there is a $30 option for those who don't want to spend $50.

! if cva would have supplied both breech plugs and the 3 dollar install tool i wouldn't have had to spend almost 50 bucks buying that one! the shipping alone was 9.95 when it wouldn't have cost any money extra shipping if they included one with the gun. i still can't understand why a company would not include both plugs? do they think the extra 20 or 30 dollars for the extra would prevent somebody from buying there product ? your right about not needing the install tool but keep in mind some people don't want to use a external wrench on the outside of the bp me included!
