420gr No Excuses

[LittleGump72]

Anyone use this bullet in a CVA Wolf?

A friend of mine has a CVA Wolf and is trying to find a load to use that is easy to load. I have some of the 420gr No Excuses that he could try if anyone thought it would be worth trying.
He is a young man in high school and doesn't have a lot of money to try a bunch of different bullets. I am just trying to help him out with anything I have laying around.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I think its heavy and the recoil in that light gun is going to be an eye opener with even a moderate powder charge. Personally I'd stay at or under 300 grains and over 240 grains of bullet weight in a sabot. I've shot a couple Wolf guns using 300 grain XTPs with 100 volumetric charges of 209 powder and they were rude. I can't imagine a 420 grain pill.

Plus you might check your manual - I think CVA recommends a 400 grain projectile as max in their barrel.

I have shot My 400 Grain Bullets in a CVA Wolf (From a Custom Mold i had made) I don’t remember Recoil being Bad?

Cast of PURE Lead these weigh dead on 400 Grains

And they worked Quite well in the CVA Wolf

Try the 420s with about 80gr of powder. 90gr of powder by volume max if you are using most subs.

The ‘100 yd slow motion’ video I posted last week was shot by a 13 year old youth.
530gr lead conical over 52grW (75V) BH209.
We shot the same load out of a few Knights and an Encore.
Start lower as I’ve shot as little as 35grW (50grV) and won a match.
I also shot a 500gr conical in a 50cal with good success over 85gr Swiss 2f years ago.
Best of luck...
