Oh! you might be surprised... CVA's have been around a long time and there are plenty of people out there with them...

Here are a couple of assumptions... it is 1/48 twist? and I am thinking it will have the deep lands and grooves... if you look down the barrel with a bore light at the lands and the grooves they will be very prominent to the point that you might think it would be easy to hook a fingernail onthe lands... the newer rifles have suchshallow land and groove you would wonder if they will really work...

Do you have some 300 grain .452 bullets? hornady's, sierra anything...
I have for years shot 300 grain bullets in HPH-24 sabots from my Hawkens and Renegades...

The working principle of the sabertooth/powerbelt is the bullet is undersized and open ignition the force of the pressure will cause the bullet to swell to the lands and grooves....

I had such a gun CVA and I did shoot sabots in it and it did very well. A freind of mine has an older CVA 54 cal and he is easily loading TC mag sabots and 300 grain speers.

Following this with a PM....
