RE: cva optima owners.
I would first try 100 grains 777 pellets with 250 gr shockwaves or hornady SST. I use the 250 shockwaves with 130 grains 777 pellets. You probably will get good accuracy as I did with 100 gr 777, but I increased to 130 to reduce the drop. This load has worked extremely well taking deer out to 200 yards without any problems.

RE: cva optima owners.
I have a beartooth magnum, which is an optima under
another name plate. I would try 2-50gr. 777 pellets.
That works great for me with 225gr. aero-tip powerbelts.
I tried combinations using 50gr. & 30gr. but mine likes
the 100gr charge best. Very accurate, very easy to load,
very easy to clean. Please post your results. Will look for
them.
