CVA Optima, 250 grain Hornady SST and 100 grains in pellet form. Good for whitetail right?

Plan on using that new .54 Hawken. Having a .40 long rifle being built that may get to see some action this year.

Savage 10II topped with Zeiss Conquest. Going to give smokeless a run, my load this fall will be 43.5gr 4759 under 250gr sst. My back up is my trusty 700MLS topped with aelite 4200100 gr T7 FFG under 240 XTP. Both prefer 209W primers.

I have 2 options right now with a third possibly in the near future. My son and I drew cow elk this year. I will probably use my CVA Magbolt 50 loaded with either 130gr Pyro pellets and a 300SST/SW or 90gr 777 loose and a 460NE. My son will probably use the CVA Optima 50 and 300SST/SW but I'm still working on that load so it may change.i haven't had that gun long so I'm still wringing it out.My third option is a Lyman GPH/R 50/54 that I'm in the process of getting. I have the peep sight alraedy, just have to get the gun and extra barrel. I'm not sure when I'll get it or if I will have time to get it ready. Time to hit the range.

My Omega topped with a Bushnell Elite 2-9x40, for deer in Michigan. I will use this in both center fire rifle and muzzleloader seasons.( I don't have to worry about using all my tags, never see that many deer) Will use 120 grs of 777 and either a 250 gr or 290 gr Barnes TMZ, Win 777 primers.

Plenty-good for whitetails.. although I think your CVA prefers the 300 gr. (in many cases).

This year will be my first year hunting so I applied for deer muzzleloader and shotgun permits but i will only hunt ML if i manage to work up a bit more accurate load.

I also look forward to hunting pheasants on our club property.
