CVA Optima & Big ol conicals
« on: August 14, 2012, 01:44:24 PM »
I found a winning combo here! I will order the Lee S&W 500 mold after hunting season.  I used 70gr Blackhorn209, CCI 209M Primer, 454 grain S&W 500 Conicals and a lubed Veg wad at 50 yards.

First shot was on a clean bore and of course the next Two were grouped excellent.  :IBCOOL:
