[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3490696, member: 1409"] I think it's mainly an issue of those PowerBelt bullets shooting more accurately in that particular gun. Personally, I have no use for PowerBelt bullets, and would go to a different gun rather than use them. If you're really wanting to stick with that particular gun, I'd try some 100% copper Barnes bullets (whatever powder you want to try, but I'd consider nothing but BH209). The Barnes bullets are "longer" for their weight and tend to shoot more accurately in many guns because of this (just my opinion). But I'll tell you what I did under somewhat similar circumstances a few years ago: I got a Savage smokeless, which will save you time and money over time, and help you kill more deer. In summary: 1) Try some different bullets (Barnes would be my top recommendation) 2) Go to the BH209 powder (use Federal #209 shotgun primers) ---- if you go this route, you [i]MUST[/i] first really clean your breech & barrel with something like Hoppe's #9 solvent (or anything specifically recommended for the BH209 powder). After cleaning with the proper solvent, and using the correct primers, you will find the BH209 more reliable, and many find greater accuracy. 3) Just ditch the CVA and go smokeless. [/QUOTE]
