New Wolf on the range!

[frontier gander]

I got the New Wolf out on the range today with 90gr Blackhorn209 - 245gr Powerbelts and some new regular power CCI 209 primers.

50 yards off the Caldwell FCX

Close up,

my wolf will do the same, they sure seem to shoot!

 

[frontier gander]

They do seem to shoot good! I took it all the way up to 120gr and it shrunk even more! I hope to try 100 yards tomorrow.

FG, not to get off the subject of the Wolf, but do you know how the Powerbelts are going to perform with BH209 on impact? Just wondering if I should try to keep my loads at 90g and below.

That's a great group FG
How do you like the rest?
Did it come with the lead bag?

 

[frontier gander]

If i use powerbelts for hunting season, i'll use my INSERT IGNORE with them, then i shouldnt have any trouble with the high powder loads.

Sax, it did come with the lead bag but i have not filled it up, really no need to as the rest itself weighs a ton LOL. I love the rest though, its a great tool to have.

hey dude is it a screw in breech plug?

The biggest complaint I have about the lead sled is the front rest part.
I don't like all the play in the front.Seems like yours would be eaiseier to adjust.

Yes this one has the quick release breech plug.

Sax, the control arm is great on the FCX! 5' of adjustment at 100 yards.

I have to set mine to the left of where I am shooting because when I tighten the front rest it moves several inches on the target.I don't like to have to use Kentucky windage with a rest.

How is the trigger on the wolf? I do like the lines, I ordered the optima this year from cabelas, but after 12 weeks of waiting, I decided I needed a reloading set instead...now I think I should have waited on the optima...

trigger on the wolf again is excellent. no creep, no grit. CVA has really done an excellent job on their triggers, i think they now know that a good trigger makes the customer happy.
