BIGBLOCK You said the other day that the Optima had less felt recoil than the Accura and that there was a noticable difference in barrel jump between the two. Were you using the same powder loads and bullets in both guns when you determined this? Which gun has more muzzle jump the Accura or the Optima? I would have thought the Accura being heavier and a more solid stock would have less felt recoil and less muzzle jump.

Glad it's shooting good for ya Bigblock, not too many CVA fans around here. I'm gonna have to try some of those CCI mag primers.

nuguy, the ACCURA has a good deal of barrel jump. Its soft recoil wise with the butt pad, but the barrel jump is there. It has that long goose neck set up and so im sure thats affecting the barrel jump. The optima has a much shorter length neck on it and the recoil pushes straight back into your shoulder.
I remember watching Oneil outside and he was shooting a v2 with 150gr american pioneer sticks and a 270gr powerbelt platinum. It jumped so badly that it knocked his hat clear off his head LOL.

That group is pretty darn impressive out of a CVA. I bought one a few years back and couldn't get it to shoot better than minute-of-stop sign. I spent more on bullets and powder, trying to get it to shoot than I did on the gun. Found that the bore was oversized and varied .018 down the whole length! I'm not bashing, just sharing what happened. I got a new ML and now, I am shooting groups like that as well! All is good in my ML world now. Good shootin!

Bigblock: Did you modify the breechplug to .035 to use the BH209? I was going to do that but now I see CVA has a delivery of new BH plugs for later this month. Anyway, maybe the current Accura V2 stock plug will work ok with BH as long as I clean in between shots? Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Ned

When i first got it, i was shooting a factory plug. The only adjustment i had made was by adjusting my head space so the primers fit tight, rather than loose and being allowed to blow back into the frame and lose all the head. This IMO is what has been causing hang fires for others in their CVA's with BH209. You lose all your gas and heat, thats whats going to happen. The flash channel is 3mm and so keep it clean with a drill bit spun by your fingers every 6 shots and accuracy will stay superb. I ended up modding my flash channel to a larger 5/32" size as i am mainly a target shooter but still, after i take my 3 shots with one load, the barrel gets cooled down, plug cleaned and when ready, i test out a new load. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HJwUV2qJU

fudge ya it would. I use the 250gr on everything. I just need something to step in front of my barrel during hunting season. No problems on deer. Elk, bear and moose i still need to test. Most likely never moose though.
