CVA Accura V2 - 260 Harvester PT Gold Day
« on: February 26, 2012, 10:24:18 AM »
A pretty nice day with some wind gusts now and then and so I had to wait at times for the wind to calm down before I pulled the trigger.
 
 First started off with 100gr Blackhorn209, CCI 209 Magnum primers, MMP HPH-24 Sabots, 260gr Harvester Scorpion PT Gold bullets @ 160 yards. Accuracy was horrible!
 
  I went home and dumped my remaining 100gr charges back into the powder bowel and reloaded the tubes with 110gr Blackhorn209, Went back out and took 3 more shots and just was smiling ear to ear. Under 7/8" @ 160 yards!
 
 Its quite a  thumping load. Either that or I am just not used to shooting off that bag rest LOL.
 
 
 Should be pretty obvious which groups were with 100 and 110gr! She shoots a good deal to the right, but it was sighted in for the Powerbelt Aerolite so I felt lucky that it was as close as it is.
 
 
 Recovered primers.

Great bullets, they are.  I shot a clam pack of 240's out of my very finicky Omega X-7 a few years back and got similar results.  Ended up going with Traditions APB200's, made by Parker.  Traditions no longer sells them and Mr. Parker's bullets have went up considerably so I might go back to them.  Got any left?  Shoot a few thru the Optima and let me how how they did....I shot them into a 5G bucket of sand and got very nice expansion.  The Parkers and Harvesters made the Shockwaves look like they barely expanded at all.  They're a pretty soft bullet but held together (near 100%) and expanded exceptionally well.
