WOW all i can say.
Ok i can tell you im slow at loading. i need to get a decent ram rod. im using the one with the gun. but i need a better one. was at the range for about 5 hours today. had a blast. Right out of the box that CVA Buckhorn seems to be shooting right on target. Now i did do a lot of experimenting. i had a whole bunch of lead cast 45 cal bullets. some in 228 grain Round nose. And some very good 300 grain Wad cutters. I was not too sure of there accuracy. I bought some sabots the other day to shoot these. I also had some TC sabots forget what grain but they were jacketed with yellow tips. Then i bought a box of hornady 410 grain bullets. Powder i was using both pyrodex pellets 50/50 and tripple 777. Overall the pellets are easy to use. Using 150 grain gives a nice of a wallop. Using straight powder takes a while to prepare need more speed loaders. I like them both. Best bullet was a toss up on the hornadys and the TC sabots. Any how i am very pleased with this CVA and after the new year i am going to be looking on getting another black powder. JUST cant do it now. My wife keeps reminding me on how much i already spent.
