.500 fits perfect in all our CVA's.

That's what I thought. My CVA's were the same.

So, my Omega uses .501, and I have to use the 300gr, because the 250gr is too loose. I can actually get a .502 down the bore.


Wouldn't you agree that your bore is tighter than mine?

That's why i'm confused that the PT's are loose.. They were perfect in mine.

TC's doesnt have a standard size in their bores though, anywhere from .598 all the way up to .502 was normal. Although in the past year or 2, the tighter bores seem pretty common. One guy on another forum, heck you know this one LOL, cant even fire 2 shots with BH209 before he has to clean his barrel because it gets so tight.

This Optima has well over 2,000 shots through her and so im sure its a bit looser than the Accura V2's.

She just dont like the crush ribs for some reason or the other. I agree though, the hph 12 or 24's should do the trick.

Got any .502 Thors left? See if you can get one down the bore.



This forum is so slow. Sometimes it takes forever to load a page.

ok for fun i decided to i will take 3 shots tomorrow with my nephews wolf at 100 yards. Well i loaded up just now, pushed the 260 pt gold with crush rib down the bore with One finger. The Optima - Wolf are going to need some tighter sabots to keep up with the V2.
