Rifle: CVA Accura V2 pictured below.
Powder: 777
Load: 100gr (2 -50gr pellets)
Bullet Weight: 295gr
Experienced shooter, pistol and rifle, reload also for pistol, rifle and shotgun. I am new to muzzle loading this year primarily to extend deer season.
I started off shooting Barnes sabots. They shot fine, but the plastic seemed to leave excessive fouling in the smoke tube. Switched over to Powerbelts and they seem to leave less plastic in the barrel. They also seem quite accurate. Right now I'm thinking of sticking with the powerbelts, however, a guy at the range today said they're not known for accuracy.
I don't want to cast my own and I understand lead is an option. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?
