[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1696197, member: 94491"] just like any rifle-- try different bullets and different powders and primers too--each rifle shots different I have a cva that shoots really well with power-belt platinum bullets, thor bullets by barnes, and federal bore-lokt--shoots pretty good with hornady fpb--all with BH209 powder ---- I don't like PB so I chose the one that loads into my barrel easier (FBL) as my go-to bullet and the thor as my back up. BUT here in CO you have to use non-magnified optics, so that really limits my range I hunt at. We also have to use loose powder and no sabots--check your hunting regs first as BP has some weird regs in different states. I hear many guys that are allowed to use sabots have good luck with them, but they take a bit more to get started down the barrel than a properly sized full bore bullet imho IF I could use a scope, I can print 3/4" 3 sot groups at 100 yards with my cva, but I practice with what I hunt with which means open sights--I'm just not as good with open sights so I limit myself to 150 yards or less with my ML--my rifle shoots better than I can [/QUOTE]
