Bought a Accura LR this year and have put over 70 rounds through it. Sighted at 100 yards open sights first then put scope on for my Utah Antelope hunt and sighted scope the same as open sights at 100. Then I figured I’d shoot with scope further out and then take scope off for son’s NV Bull tag and know my patterns. Using max charge of 150 grains in pyrodex pellets. 250 grain Hornady SST sabot bullet. Hitting 4”-5” high at 100 yards. Same at 150 yards, but 200 yards I can’t seem to get a decent pattern and I’m getting frustrated. Not sure I have time to switch bullets. Mostly shooting out of lead sled. Ditched the sled yesterday trying something different with poor results still. I even started cleaning between every shot. Starting to wonder if this gun doesn’t like either the bullet or the charge or both. May have to just stick with 150 yards being my cutoff but sure thought this new CVA with a scope would stretch out a bit further. Scope is not loose either. I’ve checked it. It’s a Vortex Copperhead 4-12x. Any input or suggestions appreciated!
