I got around to sighting in my new CVA Accura V2 the past few weekends. Love the gun & love the Nikon Inline XR that I put on it.
I started out shooting the Hornady SST 300 grain w/ two 50 grain pellets of T7 & a Win 209 primer. It shot VERY well.
Got 3 touching @ 50 yards.
And it did very well @ 100 yards.
But then I saw the Federal BOR Lock 270 grain ammo. How cool is that?! The sabot is already on the bullet & it's supposed to have great expansion. I bought some & took them to the range & was 100% disappointed. I tried every combo for 3 hours today & could not get these to group any better than 8". I wanted them to work so bad. What a waste of $25.
I went back to shooting the Hornadys & got my confidence back. I hear that these don't expand well. Any one have issues w/ the SST? Should I be shooting the shoulders this winter?
