I only got a chace to shoot the CVA Bobcat today.
The top target is patched round balls pushed by 75 grains FFFg Goex.
Top hole was the first shot at 10 yards.
The next hole down was the second shot at 10 yards.
The same hole is also the third shot taken from 40 yards.
And the lowest hole is the forth shot also taken at 40 yards.

The bottom target is with 245 grain Aerotip Powerbelts pushed by 80 Grains FFFg Goex at forty yards.
All shots were taken with Buckhorn style open sights.
It looks like I'll have to file down the front sight some and knock it over to the right a little.
And also knock the Buckhorn sight over a little to the left.
I've never adjusted non adjustable sights before so will that be the propper thing to do?

a no no with the 245's. None of my sidelocks of 1:48 twist will shoot them for chit. Up it to 295+

I see promise in that rifle though!

With the pitting in the barrel from the rust I think that Powerbelts are going to be the only way to go. Anything else is just too difficult to load after the first shot. So I will get some heavier Powebelts and give them a try.
