I recently purchased one of these rifles, can't seem to find a load that will shoot consistant, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

i have a c.v.a. 50cal the load i use that shoots great is 110 grains of clearshot (loose powder) cci 209 primer and pr qt 40 235 grain sabots. also another great load i shoot is 100 grain clearshot 295 grain powerbelt from c.v.a.both loads shoot really great.

have you tried any loads with 150 grains of powder? What kinda range are you gettind out of these loads

I used the cva mag bolt for two years before I got my Encore. I had real good results with 100 grains of clean shot pushing a 295 grain powerbelt. Couldnt get the powerbelts to group going over 100 grains. I also had good results w/150 grains of pyrodex pushing a 220 grain barnes sabot.

RAYFERD:NEVER SHOT A CHARGE OF 150 GRAIN.MAX IS 120GRAINS OF CLEAR SHOT. I REALLY THINK YOU WILL WASTE A LOT OF UNBURN POWDER FROM A 24 INCH. BARREL TO BURN COMPLETE 150 GRAINS OF LOOSE POWDER. 150 GRAIN CHARGE ARE PYRODEX PELLTES ONLY.AND THEY COAST A LOT MORE FOR PELLETS

I shoot 100 gr. loose clean shot with a 300 gr. Hornady bullet and sabot it gets about 1 1/2 groups at 100 yds,I use a dry swab after every shot,They're hard to load but they shoot better in my gun.I also got pretty good groups with 240 gr. Hornady bullets but they came apart in a deer so I switched to the 300 gr. They held together better.

2 pyrodex 50gr.pellets.
295gr power belts.
209 shotgun primers .
Shoots great ,nice gun..

get good results with:
225 grain power-belt
3 50grain pyrodex pellets
209 primer
took one at 130 yds complete pass through with exit hole the size of a tennis ball.
