For that price you got a steal. CVAs are made to shoot Powerbelts bullets, however the charges are to be reduced to say 80-90 grains of loose powder. I will be honest and have never shot them but friends at the range have I can say they have excellent results out to 150 yards. The key is not to push them too hard. I shoot 250 and 300 grain Shockwaves with 100 grains of Pyrodex RS and am good out to 200 yards. Mountaindevil shoots CVA and I am sure he can put you on a great load for that gun, my friends have taken his advice and are shooting better than I on some loads.
