Default RE: 150 grains of 777 in an CVA Optima Pro .45?

No gun is entirely safe - but some are safer than others in web reports. There's been alot more than just one incident involving CVA/Winchester MLs. Those six articles in Chuck Hawks should be read. Kinda' why I preach 100 grain loads in Spanish MLs like CVA, Winchester & Traditions. I own four Spanish guns. None see more than 100 grains. Two pellets are fine to around 175 yards with heavier bullets &plenty of practice on the bullet travel arch. I shoot a 435 grainmonster Buffalo sabot with only 80 grains of 777. It's roughly 4" low at 150 yards when I sight-in 3' high at 100 yards.
