CVA Mountain Pistol

My favorite old pistol. I carry it with me hunting. It's dead on out to about 30 yards, loaded up with 45 grains of 3f Swiss and a Hornady PA conical bullet.

I too have a CVA Mountain pistol in 50 cal. I bought several hundred Hornady PA bullets strickley for this pistol. I hace yet to fire it. Was wondering about loads for this. You said 45 grains Swiss 3f, that a good stout load or is it mild? I have Swiss 3f, 2f and Goex 3f plus Pyrodex P.

I saw a load chart for CVA and 60 grains by volume of 3f is the max load for pistols.
I think the 45 grains that I use is stout enough.
I would recommend starting at about 25 grains volume of whichever 3f you choose and work up your load from there.
I think you'll enjoy shooting your pistol.
