RE: The CVA staghorn any thoughts?
That sounds like it will be a real nice setup. The rifle I am sure will really do the job. I have had real good luck shooting 240 grain Hornady XTP with harvester sabots out of my Staghorn. I also shoot a hand cast 200 grain SWC with a harvester sabot that is real accurate. I think I could squirrel hunt with this load. If you just want to plink and want some cheap things to shoot then get some R.E.A.L. conicals. There is a place on line that sells them real reasonable. I make my own and my own lube so they are even cheaper for me.....
All rifles are different, but my Staghorn has a magic number of 90 grains. It seems to shoot best with 90 grains of powder. Good luck with your rifle. I will be watching the board to see how well it is doing for you....
