Although I have had my cva hawken sideline for 25 yrs I have recently bought a CVA Accura. I put a Nikon Buckmaster scope on and started sighting it in last weekend. I am not all that familiar with the new guns so asking for a little help. I am currently shooting 100grains of white hot pellets with a 245 gr CVA power belt copper bullet and remington 209 primers. 3rd shot at 50yards was 12:00 3 inches high so I thought 100 yds should be really close. Moved out to 100 yards and shot 2 at 7:00 3-4 inches low and 1 at 5:00 3-3 inches low. Thought maybe the barrel was too hot so I did not shoot it anymore. Was wondering after 6 shots with cleaning it after 3 could that affect the accuracy that much.

I have no experience with the White Hot pellets. So I really can not help you. If you have concerns about the powder, get a different brand. If you can find BlackHorn 209 that should work. Or Pyrodex RS is a good powder. Kind of dirty but a good powder. Also, loose powder is cheaper and works just as good as the expensive pellets.

I used to shoot 100 grains of JSG but I tried 90 grains and everything fell into place. I took last seasons deer with a 90 grain charge of JSG, 295 GRAIN POWERBELT AEROTIP and Remington Kleanbore Primers. No swabbing the bore until 7th or 8th shot!!!!!!!



The pics speak for themselves. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Pics look familiar cayugad??????????
