all this and all i can say for anyone of you who want to know about the amount of charge.read articles posted by randy wakeman before you shoot any cva/bpi made guns,I say this one month after my cva optima pro shooting 90 grains of loose powder with 300 grain sabot blew up in my face. my scope was 30 feet behind me where it was supposed to be is a hole in the entire back portion of the barrel. you said talk to mark,I DID he just wants to get my gun back asap. wondering what was the hurry I started looking for reasons why this would happen.anyone of you can do the same thing on google, look up;;; ''will my cva muzzleloader blow up'',, ''or cva muzzleloader accidents''. i tell you this in hopes someone else does not get hurt.

RE: CVA and BPI max load recommendation
I spoke to Mark also about this just the other day. I asked why the maximum load for loose powder was at 100gr. and not at least 120-130gr. of loose powderto put it about equal with a charge of 150gr. of Pyrodox Pellets. He assured me the ML I was refering to, the ACCURA, would indeed handle this charge of 150gr. of loose powder, but in there testing, even with the longer barreal, that the powder would;nt fully burn and thus being too much for powder that was'nt needed. And he also said to get the best results of loose powder I would have to use a cronograph to test the velocities of the higher powder charges, and when the velocities started to level off with say a powder charge of 130gr.++ to then back off on the powder to find the happy medium that suited the ML. As I have learned and heard from many of you on this forum, a Magnum charge of 150gr.'s of loose powder does affect accuracy and in most cases is too much and overkill for a good shooting load. It's all user preferance, but why use a Magnum load if it is'nt the best load. Ron
