CVA optima v2 50 cal load suggestion

[huntzall]

My boy has a muzzy Antelope tag . I have little to no muzzy experience. Anybody recommend a good load and bullet to start with ?

I’ve had good luck with 110 grains of blackhirn 209 and 240 grain Hornady XTP

What state? They all have different rules

Utah

Antelope are very easy to kill so the bullet doesn’t make a lot of difference.

110-115 gr Bh209 and a 250-300 gr bullet in a sabot.

85 measured grains of pyrodex and a 250 grain power belt ELR.

That’s what I would use for practice if it was me just because the pyrodexis so “cheap”

I have a CVA Optima V2 50 cal LR rifle. I have used Blackhorn 84 gr by weight. With a hornady sst 250 gr. Mine shot this well under a 1 inch . I got a deal on Hornady 290 gr Bore Driver bullets. Trying out on a deer this season. I killed a buck at 200 yds with a 250 gr sst.
