I see this CVA thingy just gets rehashed and rehashed. I own two BPI SS rifles which I feel completely safe to use. Sweet shooters and will be taking one of them instead of a high powered rifle on this Saturday's Colorado 3rd season Mule Deer Hunt. Wish me luck. (And wish me a fresh snow for opening morning) :-)

I noticed Cayugad suggested to someone wanting to shoot 300 yards to consider maybe stalking the game to a closer range. That's my approach. I use between 70 and 100 grains depending on the projectile.

With 150 grains, one should be very careful about loading. The potential for failure exists with any rifle as the prior poster mentioned. Hey guys, these firearms can only be as safe as folks operating them. Happy hunting and gut one out your next hunt.
