Update my CVA is in the mail ,estimated time away from home 6-8 weeks ! Guess my latest purchase (on this forum) Thanks Ghost 23 , will take up the slack along with my smokeless purchase (thanks Mt Monkey) and no rain!!!/Ed

Yes will take it as per PM/thanks Ed

I was referring to the pistol scope , all my guns wear Leupolds /Thanks Ed

I don't need the scope ,sent PM/Ed

All clean /firing kit changed out (have 3 extras) but this has been a progressive thing (I hate progressives) guess I'm lucky it isn't hunting season yet , I do have a backup (TC Renegade that shoots) . It does it with BP or BH 209 with my Magspark conversion (heard BH 209 is a no no with a side...

You all will hear it 1st , not exactly shy or lacking in the opinion option , CVA already has had the experience !/Ed

I purchased new last year/nitrated barrel ,extremely accurate , killed 2 deer @ 120+ yards this winter and took it to the short range (200 yds) taking advantage of some sun . I had just cast some new accurate bullets and a paper patch boolit and started @100 yds (2x7 )Leupold was already sighted...

If that target fell to the ground I'd say make sure your carrying , looks like a big pile of BEAR STUFF !

Sounds like I'll not hunt there to many rules /hills to steep / good thing I like squirrels (light to pack)and lots of targets and they runout of breath high in trees at altitude ,so I've heard (short legs too)

Bring lead and hire a horse !!/Ed

I do all that or lube and then BLL( Bens Liquid lube) search on Cast Boolits Forum to seal the deal , but time doesn't enter the equation (I'm retired) Ed

I used to watch Hickok but some stuff didn't work for me , leading in grooves (not removed) eventually it is a problem . Leading is a non issue with proper BHN/hardness and proper sizing for your bore if you don't get those right you get leading . Hickok does not get that far into the sport for...

Shoot lead free using Dura Felt wads or LDPE poly wads to prevent gas cutting of base (main reason ) deforming bullet base/leading under 1600FPS/ Harbor Freight sells (CHEAP) hole punch sets( $15-20 ) Ed

If your casting your own either get a GC mold or Steal the wife's toaster oven and learn to PC your new bullets and like it was said shoot @ moderate speeds (1600FPS or less with soft) or for me with harder cast . BHN #s are only available to those that cast ,if store bought your at the...

Try Dixie Gun Works yet ?

No pellet will compete with granular just my opinion , tried pellets one time (white Hots) too and that's why only once !!/Ed

Mine sits on a shelf (NEW) as everything on guns plus range finder are Leupolds

My CVA Optima 50 aint garbage , does really well with full bore and sabots and shoots what I aim for up to 200 yds as good as I can hold . It just is a great (reasonable costing )rifle with proper scope costing more than the gun!! The deer can't complain , they don't ( live here ) anymore or...

Perhaps in a BP muzzle loading shotgun it might help as those patterns seem weak @ times . Not traditional but maybe a big advantage with water fowl yardage and patterns ,and required by law . Only negative it is extremely expensive for a limit of anything!!/Ed
