Range Day!

[Cowboy45j]

Well Hondo Lane and I spent the day at the gun club down here in Tomball on Sat. and I finally got a load worked up that my CVA frontier rifle really likes. It is however a pretty stout one. With a .490 PRB and a .15 patch over 100 grains of pyrodex P (I know I was shocked too) I dinged the turkey silouette 4/5 times at 200 yards. I aimed at the head and I'm sure I hit it low in the body when I did hit it, but that ding sure was nice to hear.

Good shooting! I haven't tried anything over 100 yards with mine. I've found 40 grains FFg at 25 and 50 yards and 50 at 100 is my best load.

That sounds about right for that long of shot. My .50 likes 80 gr ffg at 100 yds

Good shooting, is the Frontier a halfstock? I thought I have had about every type of gun CVA has made over the last 30+ years but I am drawing a blank on that one.

Frontier is a little shorter than a Hawken and has a flat buttplate like a plainsman and no patchbox!

good times buff, i can't wait to get out there again.

course next time i'll wear thicker clothes (that 100 grains through a plain t-shirt will tenderize a shoulder after 5 shots).

 

[Cowboy45j]

I will second that.

Howdy Gents!

What's the name of the club in Tomball? I will be visiting there this weekend; my niece is testing for her Taekwondo black belt.
