RE: CVA Optima
I have one, I just posted a pic in the Post a pic of your rifle and gear thread. They shoot good and strong. I Like 100 grains, usually pellets and Hornady SST in 250 caliber, easier to load then powerbelts. They are real cheap too. All in all a great gun and fairly cheep to must bp rifles. Have fun in your choice tho muzzleloaders are fun.
