Spent the whole afternoon rabbit hunting with my new CVA Optima .50 cal. Got one rabbit and saw two more. It gonna make for some good stew! I use a patch round ball and 30gr of 777 sighted in for about 25 yrds. It is a very accurate load and works well on small game like rabbits since the ball is moving too slow to expand on such a soft animal. Plus it's cheap to shoot! Everyone should try it sometime... good practice for deer hunting later in the year.
