accura owner

I own several black powder weapons and have always been able to dial in good groups. But the Accura I have is very inconsistant. I have a 50cal knight and a 45 cal CVA elkhorn. Both will hold a 1" group at 100 yards.

Here is my problem, 2 years ago i purchased a new Accura believing the marketing materials as being the most out of the box accurate out there. First winter i put a Simons pro 50 on it and tried diffrent powder vrs bullet load configurations. This time last year, I was convinced that perhaps the scope was part of the problem so i went out and got a BDC scope. Same problem with consistance, so I hunted with one of the other weapons. Now i am back to giving it one last try before replacing the gun forever. I have given my other 2 guns to my kids that have started to hunt so I really need to figure this out.

I have tried pyrodex and tripple seven powders, i have always shot ballistic tip sabots with great sucess. so i am using the same as i shot (and my son still shoots) in the Knight. I have tried 100 & 150 grains of powder and from 200 to 250 grain bullets. Some are slightly better than others but overall the gun can be 8-10 inches off with no consistant pattern. I have also been using a lead slead or vise on the gun.

Believe me when i say that i am not new to shooting or dialing in guns but this one really has challanged my knoledge. All of my weapons are dialed into a 1" grouping @100yrd or it will not say at my house.

Has anyone else had this issue with the accura or am I just the unluck one? I am hopeing that someone has experience in this area and can help with an accurate load configuration.

Thanks

doesn't CVA have an accuracy guarantee? I have a knight and an accura too and my accura's bore is a little looser so a load that works well in your knight might not be tight enough in the accura. how do the sabots you use load into the accura?

1" guarantee

I have my accura in the 1.5-2" range with 300 gr gold dots and 110 grains of triple 7. I would like to tighten it but early season is coming up and I dont want to make it worse

That means if you hold it 1" from the target you are guaranteed to hit it.

yep i knew from the start that this was one of those posts made by someone making up phony names!

Once we find out who you are, you just pretty much showed everyone that you can not be trusted.

Back stabbers are at it again!

Thanks for the advise guys. I am not sure I understand the 1" garantee comment. The sabots load fine and seem tight going down but not overly tight. Similar to my knight. Has anyone had a positive experience with a magnum load (150 grains of powder)? To me is kinda defeats the purpose to spend the money on an expensive 150 grain capable gun it if cannot deliver accuracy.

Mountain Devil.... I searously am a real guy with a real issue on an accura. This is not a phony post. I really do have beter things to do than send a phony post out. Not trying to create an uproar with anyone, I am just hopeing someone that has had a similar experience may have some insite on how to fix it.

well i can only take your word for it. If i was wrong, i do apologize, there has been quite a number of phony's here hiding behind other names.

What kind of rings/mounts are you using? I just read a post of the cva blog that they keep getting in rifles with the scope/mounts still on and they shoot them, are all over the place, they change out their mounts and they shoot excellent groups afterward. I had a problem like that too with my nephews wolf. Turned out to be the mounts.

And my offer still stands at being more than happy to take a look at the rifle for you. I have a number of scopes and mounts to swab out to test.
