Hey all,
I've been a long time reader of the forums, but never really posted much. Mostly because you guys always are able to answer my questions by just reading through past posts. I just bought a new CVA Optima Elite, and have been reading up on the different loads to use and have a couple of questions. First off, does anyone know what the bore diameter is? I've read that they are "tight" but then others say that they are .502ish (which would be more to a medium barrel, right?)

When sighting the gun in, the powerbelts (245gr) were a little all over the place, while the TC Shockwave (250gr) was SUPER hard to load. Anyone know what size sabot I should be using for the best accuracy? Any bullet recomendations? I am thinking about trying the Harvester Crushed Rib XTP Mag with the .452 sabot. Maybe the T/C XTP from cabelas? As you can see, I have a lot of info bouncing around in my head causing nothing but speculation and confusion... Help!

I'm shooting 100gr of 7's pellets. Thanks to all for your help!
