I picked up a CVA Optima .50 last week and got a Bushnell 3x9x32 scope mounted on it. Shooting at 50 yards, 100gr pyrodex pellets, 245gr powerbelt bullet. Tweaked scope for 2 shots, my 3rd was a bullseye, 4th shot 2" right (yanked the trigger)...

Cleaned bore completely and loaded it up for my 11 y.o. son Christopher to try... his first shot is the lower one... second is the bull... ;D

Two shooters... two 2" groups...

Showed dad how it's done...

Grappledad,

I plan on setting up a 100 yard range target this weekend and see what it can do. I had some input from gundude on some loose pyrodex loads and other bullet combinations that I want to try out too... if you've got loads you've had good luck with let me know...

I like the powerbelt 245 w/ 100gr pyro pellets so far, but pretty expensive to do much shooting with in the long haul.
