Hey members I just wanted to share some info and ask if anyone has any better ideas on developing the best load for my new gun? Running the MR-X 45 with a 3x9 scope yes not legal for hunting but trying to decide on a load and eliminating the human error as much as possible. 5 loadings tried so far I need to reshoot the 200xtp with 100g T7. Only took a 2 shot group. So far aside from the one flyer or I pulled the shot the 80g with xtp is the most accurate with the SST runner up. Pretty disappointing results with the ELR bullets that are supposed to be the best for the gun seems CVA is wrong on that one.

God speed in your hunt for accuracy. Imo cva has a bore issue with their 45 cals. I had an lr-x for a while and after a bunch of components wasted had to send it back. None of the other 45's they pulled from the rack would meet accuracy issues so they ended up refunding me. Customer service was absolutely top notch. They've got the 50's dialed it seems but I think they need to go back to the drawing board with the 45 cals :twocents:
