Buddy pulled the trigger on the last years CVA accura deal with thumbhole at Midway yesterday.
Since the bergara barrel seems to be more on par with a custom barrel such as pac-nor, douglas, etc, in being held to tight specs, I'm wondering what your most accurate saboted 250gr load is if you shoot an accura. I understand final say so will be up to the individual rifle, but the pacnors and douglases all seem to shoot the same loads very well from barrel to barrel, at least with smokeless loads.

150gr American Pioneer Super Sticks, Winchester W209 primers, 245gr Powerbelts @ 100 yards. 3 shots  250gr CVA Slick load sabots, 100gr Blackhorn209, cci 209m primers, @100 yards.  There are a LOT of good shooting loads for the Accura. I dont play much with sabots due to them not being legal in Colorado so my of my loads are with Conicals. |

Thanks. With SML, a very tight sabot fit is often critical to tight accuracy, as smokeless needs to develop consistent pressure. Is this the same with BP and subs? Buddy will be shooting either american pioneer (do the make pellets?) or if he listens to me BH209  |

Buy him a can of BH209 and he will never want to shoot anything else LOL. If he does go with American, Make sure he gets the Super Sticks. They are a lot better in consistency than the older sticks where you'd have to drop 2 or 3 in. The Super Sticks are one big stick.  100gr Super stick VS 150gr Super stick.  |

Thanks. They'll be going with BH209 if he can find it.

Did you have to enlarge the accura's breech plug flash hole to get 100% ignition with BH209?
Also, when you shoot your best groups, what bench technique are you using, free recoil (only trigger hand on rifle, forearm sitting on the rest free to move under recoil) or hard hold (trigger hand on rifle, off hand pulling down and back on forearm to control recoil movement)?

No my Accura stock worked great with BH209. I later drilled the flash hole to .035" just to see if it would hurt my groups. Nothing changed so i just went and did all of my rifles to the Manf. specs. I use the Caldwell CFX lead sled and i mainly keep my free hand on the control arm just to make fine adjustments. Sometimes though i will try new things. Those new things never really improve accuracy but i just try to see what it does. Off hand i do like to pull it tight into my shoulder. Normally when i shoot off hand i bring my right knee up tight into the side of my chest and rest the butt of the rifle on top of it. Its good being tall and lanky LOL.    |
