Hi all,
I was finally able to get some time in with my CVA Mountain Rifle. I was shooting 530 RBS with mattress ticking lubed with my wax concoction I use for felt wads. No blow through on any patches - so that is working well enough. I fouind that ~70 grains of Goex FFG worked pretty well for target shots - I only shot at 25 yards but managed to have 3 holes touching and about 4 others within 1 1/2 - considering the blade sight I consider that very good for me. I find it to be a more comfortable shooter than my TC Encore 209x50 - even shooting the same 70 grain load. Cleanup is a snap - though I have a heck of a time getting the staining off the barrel from the caps.

Next up for the gun is browning the barrel and other metal parts - I just received a bottle of the Laurel Mountain Browning and Degreaser.
Just wanted to share
