Instead, just load 90 grains of Pyrodex RS and a good sabot combination, swab between shots, and clean it the same day you shoot it. Don't worry about having the new whiz bang powder. If you'd wanted that you should have invested in newer technology.

I have a similar model CVA and would not recommend using BH 209 in it either. In theory it is possible, but due to the design of the rifle it is potentially dangerous.
