CVA Accura V2 with Blackhorn 209 84 grains, what’s the best bullet?

[Sacpd70]

I have a CVA Accura V2, shoot 84 grains by weight of Blackhorn 209 powder and Federal 209 A primer. I currently shoot the Powerbelt 295 grain AeroTips but don’t get a great blood trail with them. Looking to see what other bullets people like. Used for Whitetail Deer in VA. Thanks

I have the same V2 and shoot the Hornady sst 50 cal low drag sabot with 300gr 45 cal pill over 75 weighed grains of BH209. I’ve taken more than a few heads north of 165 yds with it and would feel comfortable to 200 yds as my personal limit. If shooting beyond that is a possibility I’ll take the smokeless for a ride. JMHO others mileage may vary.

Sst 300 grain low drags by hornsdy. Great bullet.

My Accura mrx shoots powerbelt elr 330's and Thor 300's about the same.

Of the 2 elk and 2 deer we've shot with muzzy, only one of the elk actually ran and made it less than 100yds. It was the elr 330, and blood trail was not good at all. I think the first elk was a regular powerbelt aerotip out of cva, he dropped. I can't remember the bullets on the deer, but they both dropped.
