Yesterday itook my cheap old CVA Mag. Hunter to therange in order to shoot up some Clean Shot pellets thatwere bought in02 or 03:These were the round pellets. The pellets had never been reliable. We had to put about 5 grains of Pyrodex down the barrel first to get them to light. Shotthree roundsof two pelletswith five grains of Triple Seven for a booster. Shot a nice 2" inch group at 100 yards using 300 grain Hornady XTP bullets.The shooters on each side of me said the report was very loud.

Then i did something dumb. i loaded myfive grains of Triple Seven and three pellets, wrong answer. The recoil wasreally bad. Had not been hit by a scope in at least 40 years, until yesterday that is.The recoil was worse than the recoil from my 7 pound Siamese Mauser in .375 Alaskan. Got a cut on my nose and another one between my eyes. Luckily my glasses were not broken.
