CVA Accura LR-X. Load Help

I have an optima and a Remington ultimate. I shoot with a few loads. I find blackhorn 209 cleaner than the pellets . I usually shoot 70 by Weight in areas where my shot will be under 100 yards and load up to 91 by weight for longer shots. I have had good luck with Powerbeats despite some hating them. I mostly use Barnes originals now
300 grain with 91 by weight. That is pretty similar to and 3 pellets Of 777 which I also use. I'm not sure what your set up will be an expected ranges. My longest buck was 155 yards. I have found decent 2 yard groups but we hunt the windy plains and I keep everything under 200:yards. I have great accuracy with the hornady sst as well but haven't shot anything with them. They are cheaper and use to site in and for load testing. There are los of threads on loads. Randy Waksman, muzzle-loaders.com, etc…

200 yards on the dot. It performed perfectly I'd say. It entered perfectly, and it did exit. Both lungs were torn to shreads. He went 10 yards and piled up. Here is the entrance and exit wounds.

I was rushed with this whole project. I appreciate your input. I'm going to definitely play around more with projectiles. I'll probably get another muzzy in the future. They're a lot more fun to shoot than I thought.

What am i doing wrong? The cheek riser on my new accura lr-x will not stay tight. In fact, when the bolt is tight the riser will fall off. Crazy! I need instruction. Thanks
I shoot blackthorn 209 and an orange harvester sabot with one of the Hornady .458 250 grain mono flex bullets in mine. Shoots great.

Blackhorn 209 Powder and Thor bullets are a very good combination. You will need to get the sizing pack for the bullets before ordering any quantity. Have a friend that has one and it uses the .499 where all of the rest of the CVA's I have been around use the .500. Have personally used this combination a lot with great success and also been involved with others using these components. They are great bullets that just do their job very well. A picture of a couple recovery's.

How does this variflame kit work/perform? Better.
So does the variflame kit work with the Accura MR-X? Thanks!
I believe so. I went with the Hankins ignition kit for mine.
