Chris, yes. CVA says no more than 100 grains loose powder and no heavier than a 400 grain conical or a 300 grain sabot'd bullet. I would take that to mean one could possibly shoot a 400 grain conical atop 100 grains of FFFg Triple Seven and still be in compliance with owner's manual specifications. That would be atorturous load for most anyone.

There has to be some flexibility in those numbers and how they are applied. A sensible conclusion (at least to my senses) would be that a heavier conical can be used so long as a conservative adjustment is made in powder charge.

Mark Hendricks of CVA was at the House of Eibar in Spain and saw the aftermath of a load tested in an Accura. He refers to a young technician in the following: "With a load of 600 grains of Triple 7 and 3 PowerBelt 444gr bullets he managed to blow the heck out of the barrel and damaged the fixture in the areas of the arrows. The frame was completely undamaged and showed to be fully in spec on the 3-D testing equipment." I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of his statement but it would have been nice to know at what level of charge that rifle was able to sustain the charge without any damage at all.

Perhaps half that amount of powder?? I won't be shooting even that load so I think the 416R stainless barrel of the Accura will hold nicely.

Now, someone show me in data from TC where it says 120 grains of Blackhorn209 is safe to shoot in an Endeavor.
