CVA 50 cal Mountain pistol

[Jim Fitzgibbon]

I built this pistol from a kit 30 years ago &
just dug it out.I can't remember how many grains
of 3fffg powder to load her up with.

[Jim Evans]

10-12 gr for a .32 cal
15-20 gr for a .45 cal
20-25 gr for a .50 cal
25-30 gr for a .54 cal
3 F
What cal is yours?

 

[Jim Fitzgibbon]

50cal so I guess 25 grain from your chart.

Fly

I shoot 25 in my .50 cal kentucky and it is an accurate load with plenty of bang. Start there and go up or down 5 grains at a time to see what suits you.

My CVA pistols in .50 cal shoot well with 30 grains to 40 grains of Pyrodex RS. Thirty is my plinking load. My .45's like 30 to 35 of Pyro P. They are more accurate with the heavier charges.
