RE: Cayugad, whats the 100 grain limit?

From the CVA Wolf/Kodiak Manual:

"All CVA Break-Action In-Lines are capable of handling a "magnum"

powder charge of up to 150-grains when using pelletized powder (typically

charges of loose powder exceeding 110 grains by volume will not fully burn

in the barrel). Such "magnum" loads should never be fired in other CVA In-

Lines that do not feature the one-piece Monoblock barrel design."

1. When selecting powder loads be sure to use the correct loading data

(Section I) for your particular model of CVA In-Line.

2. "Magnum" loads for CVA in-lines are safe only when using pelletized

powder. "Magnum" loads of loose blackpowder or Pyrodex are inefficient

and are not recommended. All CVA Break-Action In-Line Muzzleloading

models are approved for use with these magnum loads. (pelletized

powder loads in excess of 100 grains.)

3. Always follow recommended loading data when selecting bullet type

and weight. When using saboted bullets and pelletized powder, maximum

bullet weight should not exceed 300 grains. With loose powder

loads, conical lead bullets should never exceed 400 grains. Heavier

bullets may produce dangerously high pressure levels, possibly resulting

in explosion of the gun and severe injury to the shooter and bystanders.

4. Always use quality #209 Primers as the ignition source when firing

pelletized powder or

“magnum” loads. The extra fire to the charge ensures

efficient burn of the entire charge.
