Manual

rifles are designed for use with bullets or sabots (not to be confused with Poly-

Patch) and most conical bullets. Some extremely large conical bullets cause

very high pressures due to poor fit to bore diameter, improper gas seal and

excessive mass. The use of any conical bullet over 400 grains or saboted bullet

over 300 grains in a .50 caliber rifle could cause barrel damage resulting in a

non-warranty repair situation.

FOR BEST RESULTS WITH CONICAL BULLETS ALWAYS USE CVA

BUCKSLAYER™ BULLETS. CVA Buckslayer™ Bullets have been designed

for proper fit to CVA barrels, creating a superb gas seal for consistent accuracy

with any CVA rifle. Buckslayer™ Bullets are easy to load, because of the knurled

sides and pure soft lead construction. The dimensions and weight of

Buckslayer™ Bullets have been designed to deliver maximum down-range

energy, low recoil and the best possible accuracy. DEMAND BUCKSLAYER™

BULLETS!

CVA has no control over projectile bullet molds used by other manufacturers.

Our testing indicates most commercially available products by acknowledged manu-

facturers are safe to use in CVA firearms. If you have any questions concerning the

correctness of a component, write or call the CVA customer service department at

1. ROUNDBALLS—with patch are the tra-

ditional projectile of the muzzleloader

and provide superior accuracy and con-

sistency in all CVA firearms. Round balls

are best suited for firearms which have

a slower twist rifling, but will have ac-

ceptable accuracy in the faster twist

models also. (Figure 9-1D)

2. CONICAL BULLETS—such as the CVA Buckslayer™ Bullet, Buffalo Bullet,

Maxi-Ball and others of this type provide superior accuracy in all CVA fire-

arms as well as increased knock down power desired by hunters. These

projectiles are best suited for use in fast twist rifling barrels which stabilize

the bullet more rapidly. They will also yield excellent accuracy in the slower

twist models. (Figure 9-1-A & B)

3. SABOTED BULLETS—DO NOT confuse the term "sabot" with "poly patch".

Poly Patch is designed for use with round balls only and should be consid-

ered highly dangerous to use. Modern sabots from various manufacturers

have been tested and provide acceptable accuracy in CVA firearms when

complying with the sabot manufacturer’s recommendations for usage. Best

results occur when using "fast twist" barrels - 1 in 32". When shooting

sabots, one patch cleaning between shots is necessary to maintain ac-

curacy. (Figure 9-1C)

Loads for conical bullets and sabots should not exceed the maximum load

recommended in Table 1.

NOTE: MUZZLELOADING PROJECTILES MUST BE MADE FROM PURE LEAD. LINOTYPE OR

WHEEL WEIGHT LEADS CONTAIN ANTIMONY WHICH CREATES AN EXTREMELY HARD, OVER-

SIZED PROJECTILE AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO LOAD.
