RE: .50 cal. Optima Pro loads
Being a CVA Optima Pro and needing to use an all lead conical, you might look at Powerbelts, Saber Tooth Concials, Maxi Ball, or Hornady Great Plains Conicals. One of them should shoot well in the rifle, but it will require some trial and error on your part. My CVA Staghorn shoots powerbelts, maxiball, and REAL conical pretty good actually. As long as I do not push them more then 90 - 100grains.
