63 gr is a light load increase the loadCVA Wolf. 100 yards. 63 grains (w) BH209. Hornady XTP 300 grain .452 I should have let the barrel cook more between shots. Any advice for tightening this group or is this more or less best to be expected from this particular
As I have said before, some wolf's shoot great some don't. Find the load it likes and it is a handy short light gun.I beg to differ smokepole. My friend has a Wolf and his shoots almost as good as my Accura V2 which will shoot MOA all day. Make me wonder why I spent over twice as much for the Accura! Maybe he just got lucky but that's been my experience with the Wolf.
I have...I used Barnes last year and was very pleased with it. Only have 9 of them left though and about 200 of the XTP's!If you really want to minimize fragmentation, then have you considered a monometal bullet?
I've been using the xtp 240s for a long time. I'm shooting 80grn blackhorn by volume with a black crush rib sabot. Most of my shots are under 100yds with the majority of em under 50yds! I've killed 4 deer in the last 2 years with my Cva accura V2 lr and the farthest tracking job was 40yds! I'm going to be trying the 300grn xtp very soon!I am feeling cautious about upping the powder much. I based the powder in the published muzzle velocity and aligned it with Hornday’s velo recommendations for that bullet. I really try to minimize fragmentation in my bullets so as to lose less meat so I generally opt for a little slower…especially since most of my shots are under fifty yards and so even with light powder bullet is still flying pretty fast.
You got that right. I've been lucky so far. Most of mine have been sweeties. However I have had a couple that were real biotches!Guns will be guns. All different. No matter how much or how little you spend. All have a personality.
I can't help but SMFH at ppl when they come into the forum & ask questions about a problem they are having due to their inexperience, then they choose to not listen to those experienced ppl that reply to them with their best recommendation to fix their problem.I am feeling cautious about upping the powder much.
