When I cleaned the rifle there were a lot of unburnt grains of powder stuck back against the breechplug. the outside of the breechplug showed tool marks where
someone had either removed or tried to remove it. I thinksome of that powder
was from the original owner.it didn,t look like fouling that i've seen from pellets.
I e-mailed CVA today and asked for age,twist rate,year of manufacture,and max load.
I don,t feel good about my friend hot loading it that way.
