I have a CVA Optima ML and absolutely love it. I love the fact that the finger removable breech plug allows me to drop the pre-formed powder pellets out of the gun so I don't have to shoot it just to unload it.
However, I've found that it only likes to shoot CVA brand Slick-Load bullets or Powerbelts. I've got some Hornady saboted bullets and it is like they are too big to even fit in the barrel (takes an extreme amount of pressure just to start them). So all I shoot out of this gun are the Powerbelts which are much easier to find than the Slick-Loads.
