I have a 2019 45cal Paramount and it's is a consistent .454 overbore muzzle to breech. I'm currently using knurled up then smooth sized Fury 265gr STB bullets with mediocre results. I'm considering getting some Hornady 325gr .458 FTX to smooth size down to .0454Me too. Although their i havent heard anything about .40 or .50 bores, im primarily a .45 shooter and really wanted a new CVA but i am waiting til i believe their current issues are resolved before getting another. I was very close to selling my Accura, when the buyer backed out. Im so glad he did cuz this .45 is snug, consistent, and accurate. It's a 2019. I would buy an early model paramount if i was looking for one.
And THAT is why this whole affair pisses me off so. **** happens...I get that. But damn it, stand behind what you put your brand on CVA! It's not like this is some $50 Crosman pellet rifle! These kinds of rifle bore inconsistencies are unacceptable! And for them to play it off only underscores the belief held by many that this all is a ruse to lock shooters into their ELR bullets...well to hell with that!I wouldn't assume all early paramounts are ok either, I have a first year paramount and the bore is badly choked. It will shoot ELR's into about 1 3/4 - 2" at 100yds. I called CVA a while ago about it and they said I could send it in but probably not anything out of the ordinary..... I tried to get bullets to shoot bullet to bore but there is too much choke to make it work safely.
