I'm not worried about shooting my CVA at all. Randy Wakeman has had a personal agenda against CVA going for a long time now. To say that he is highly biased is a gross understatement. So take everything I read from him with a grain of salt.

I also find it VERY interesting that there is no mention anywhere of what loads were used in these guns when they exploded. I wonder if some or most of these failures could have been caused by overloading the rifles to past the manufacturer's specs, loading a double charge, or some other error.

I just don't go over what CVA recommends in terms of powder charge and have no worries.
