Culvercreek hunt club Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Anyone use the CVA optima pistol. I just bought one and love it How much powder and what bullet is working in that? They are rated for 100gn? Been keeping an eye out for a BP pistol barrel for my Encore. Wondering how badly they kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 I shoot the 100gn equivalent in bh209 with a speer 260gn speer jsp "same bullet I shoot in my 45lc with" a hornady sabot haven't shot it over the crono yet. In my bullet test " 5 gallon bucket with loose beach sand" I have almost identical expansion as I do out of my blackhawk. Recoil is all there but not unmanageable.
