Shot the .58 CVA Mountain Rifle today

[Ballshooter]

I am really liking this CVA Big Bore .58 shot over 50 rounds today and didn't swab the bore once. The last few shots were getting a bit more difficult to seat lol. Shot at 60 yards today she seems to like 85 grains by volume of my homemade black powder and .562 roundball with blue Walmart pillow ticking. Shot four then moved the sight just a hair to the right and up a little. Then shot three...I'll take that! Spent the rest of my day shooting clay pigeons at 80 and 100 yards among rocks and my 8 inch steel gong. Man does the .562 ball make it sing lol I would like to try some .570 balls and thin patch. But I don't think it would load to easy the .562 ball and .20 patch was snug. I have a 440 grain LEE REAL bullet mold coming just to see if it shoots in the 1:72 twist.

So far I like it patches looked very good and am a happy camper with the results.

Awesome! Glad to hear. I picked up a Big bore.58 at my local gun store last week, $150 bucks! Couldn’t believe it. I currently have it stripped and reworking the stock. Whoever built it really didn’t know what they were doing.

You have a really good looking rifle. It's obvious you also know how to shoot.

MY CVA .58 likes the .562 ball cast from wheel weights , ticking patch lubed with olive oil and also about 85 grains of homemade.

That is a very nice looking CVA Mountain Rifle, I wish close ups would have been posted. I looks kind of like good maple. On a CVA?

50 rounds shooting a 58' roundballer and no swabbing?
What was on those blue Walmart pillow ticking patches?
.562 ball and .20 patch was snug?.... from shot-1 to shot-46 or-so?..... never worsened?

We need more info. Maybe you have a homemade blackpowder that should be on Cabela's store shelves.

Yes ,Walmart blue pillow ticking and my mix of bear tallow, beeswax and a splash of Murphy oil. Can't talk about my homemade brew here but it sure beats any store stuff I have used.
