I have a CVA Bobcat in .50 cal. I bought it used earlier this year. I know 70 grains of FFF black powder will kill a deer because, well, it did. My question is, is this the right maesure to be using? Is it too much, should I step it up, or am I in the ballpark here? The gun didn't come with a manual, and the intranet has been useless.
Ment to spell internet wrong, didn't mean to spell measure wrong. Stupid booze
you are in the right ballpark, I like to use 100 grains of powder. the more powder the more recoil. I think that gun is a side lock gun and not a inline. you can go www.cva.com and get more info. But if it is a side lock don't put no more powder than 100 grains. But if you took a deer with 70 grains I would stick with that. Or if you can handle more recoil try using 80 grains it might make the gun more accurate at a longer distance you will have to go out and try it to see
