Welp- the new, cerakoted Accura .45 LR (PR3138NM) is still not out but it looks dang nice... BUT I couldn't help when CVA put out the sale on the nitrided '2019' models for $400 bucks. Mine arrived today, was black nitride with the 'veil' camo stock and the standard CVA one piece, 1" scope mount, claw sling and STANDARD breech plug. Actual Weight: 8lb 7oz w/ mount and NO sling.
This will be the 4th Accura (3x.50cal) that I've had to play with in various configurations and every one before shot very well as far as I tested them (150 yards). My goal now-- deer, bear, antelope rig that will stretch my effective range (both scoped and unscoped) for various big game seasons across the west. I don't know if 300 yards is reasonable (scoped) but I know with irons I will be the limiting factor.
Plan:
1. Get BH209 Breech Plug
2. Scrap 1" mount for rail and 30mm (either my VXIII 4.5-14x40 or VX5HD 3-15x44) to be used for load development and hunting where legal.
3. Iron sight set up-- going to try the new Williams or go back to the drawing board with all the previous info. The Accura V2 .45 is tapped front and rear plus the scope mount holes. I had a Shaver set up with crosshair/dot that worked great even in lower light.
4. Test Test Test-- going to try some new primers along with BH209, definitely going to try the Powerbelt ELR as well as some offerings from Arrowhead. Since I have some centerfire rifles I'm working on as well I'm considering grabbing a magnetospeed v3.
5. Possibilities- I may try to find a way to attach my Javelin bipod
Since this is my first .45 I'm open to suggestions and ideas and I'll keep yall posted along the way. Thoughts on right way to chrono with the muzzy? I've only managed to kill one optical with sabots
