Just having a ball. Decided to pull my older vintage CVA Kodiak 45 out of the closet. REALLY need to reclean it. Havent cleaned, used, etc in perhaps 6 years. Oil in barrel looks rusty red for some reason at the muzzle.
Trying to get a manual, but the CVA website manual for the rifle only talks about not using military surplus ammunition in it..
Its a 1:24 twist barrel. I know the sabots from MMP will indeed let me use .357 magnum bullets, and they do indeed recommend the use of the hornady 158 grain SWC for that, a happily made SWAGGED lead projectile, and even the 158 grain LRN....
IS swagged lead actually going to be a "smart" choice as the basic powder charge listed is supposed to yield 1700 fps velocity.
