OP bigblock455 Campfire Tracker B Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,251 | Okay i've been getting the V2 sighted in at 150 yards for the past 2 days, mainly just trying new ways of loading and so today i did a comparison of Hot Barrel VS Cooled down barrel @ 150 yards. 100gr Blackhorn209, .500" 250gr Thor, CCI 209Mag primers. Hot barrel, no stopping to let it cool down. Same load but allowed a good 5 minute cool down between shots. One more time on a cold barrel.

 nuguy Campfire Tracker N Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 3,534 | Bigblock I have a quick question....if you lay your thumbhole Optima and your thumbhole Accura V2 side by side would you say that the stocks are identical in size and proportion or is the accura stock a little taller or longer etc...is the thumbhole area a little more open? |

| OP bigblock455 Campfire Tracker B Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,251 | Good question. The Accuras stock is bigger and longer and the hole is actually bigger. Im 6'3 and they both fit me real good, but i like the slimmer lines of the Optima the best and i feel it recoiled a lot less. I notice a pretty good difference in barrel jump between the 2 guns. |

nuguy Campfire Tracker N Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 3,534 | Thats what I was wondering. Im only 5'9" and I dont have long arms. I know I really liked how the Accuras felt with the rubber coated stock and rubber grips but I would rather have a better fitting gun that is just as accurate. If they would just make an Accura with the Apex stock and give a few different length of pull options on those stocks I believe this gun would be just about perfect. Last edited by nuguy; 08/11/11. |

| OP bigblock455 Campfire Tracker B Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,251 | OOOOOhhh yeah! Yesterday i did some changes to this load. I used another powder measure that throws out normally 1.5 grains less than what the chart shows on the BH website. One other change, i brought along my timer, set it for 7 minutes and after each shot, hit the button, sat back and relaxed, when the timer reached 2 minutes i would reload and put my hearing muffs on, prime the gun and just wait for the timer to go off, hit the button to stop it from ringing, carefully got the gun set up on the bag and positioned onto the target and squeezed the trigger. Very tame recoil! That 250gr Thor with this 110gr load travels at 1,971 FPS average. By doing this i was able to shrink my group to 7/8" center to center at 150 yards.
Now i had screwed up earlier and adjusted my scope down way to much and so i made some adjustments, reloaded after it cooled down and took one more shot at 150 yards to make sure it was dead on. Getting itchy and excited i said to heck with it! I want one more to MAKE sure. Cooled down, reloaded, fired. Overlapping! I believe she is ready to be a back up gun on my New Mexico hunt. |
