Arrowhead bullets

[cur dog]

I recently purchased a CVA Accura LR-X. .45 cal. I've found the best accuracy shooting Powerbelt ELR 285's over 73 gr by weight of BH 209.
I'm curious if anyone here has tried arrowhead bullets in their CVA. Arrowhead specifically says they are intended to shoot out of their rifles and Brux barrels.
Just curious what others here have found. Starting with new bullet weights, diameters, and charges can be a deep rabbit hole.

Probably not going to work well with the oversized bores on CVA

Man, I was hoping you’d say you had a .50 cal. I’ve got a good handful that came with my Remington 700 Ultimate that I need to get rid of.

let me know what you learn from it

I have shot them in my Knights and they have done exceptionally well.

I've got a pack of the 452's. They seem very snug in my rifle. Have you ever used these bullets, or just don't like CVA?

If the wind ever quits blowing, I'll send a few down range.

I'm guessing they didn't shoot well for you? What does your UML like?

I've got a couple CVA, just know their 45s suffer from inconsistent bore sizing

I’ve heard that about CVA’s in general. So far, mine appears to be a shooter.

It’s their 45s, have an Optima 50 for myself and one for the wife and they both shoot great, they like different sabots though

I shoot the Arrowhead XLD's, but not the NSR. Last year I used the 350gr to take a nice buck.

I shoot the XLD's to 1,000yds. The XLD's are great bullets.

The wind finally quit blowing and I had some time today. I managed a 5/8” center to center group with the 275gr .452 XLD’s. I’m quite impressed.

I had to move my scope forward in the rail to shoot prone. Of course I had to zero it prior to one of the matches. My first two rounds are the top left. I adjusted and fired again, the single hole.
The right hand bottom diamond is 5 rounds.
The left hand bottom diamond is also 5 rounds.

All XLD's.

What’s your rifle? Smokeless?

Yes, SML capable. However, those rounds were using BH209.
Smokeless is not allowed in registered competitions. We are limited to 120grs VOLUME of BH209. NO MUZZLE BRAKES.

My rifle isn't granddad's muzzleloader.
