Well last year I bought the cva optima .45, Nickle camo. I loaded 100 gr. loose 777, and the 175 Powerbelt. I have fallen in love with the Powerbelt bullets. They are the easiest loading ML bullet I have ever used. I used to use the Knight sabot in my knight .50 cal. The .45 in the powerbelt is the same size as the bullet in the knight .50. Just no sabot wrapping.

Anyway my cva shoots great on the 100 yd sight in. Good groups over the loose 100 gr. 777. My longest shot is 150 yds. , where I will be using that gun, so I have it covered.

But I tell you, If you try the powerbelts, and your gun will shoot them, they are sweet.

Good hunting and God Bless
