I picked up a CVA 450B several months ago. The bbl was 25 inches and i loved that for the added vels.
However,it got heavy and hard to swing sitting in my buggy without striking a roll bar.
So i had it chopped to 16.5 inches and tapered to blend with a very efficient brake.
My loads nowadays are medium pressure loads using AA5744 and max loads of TRAIL BOSS.
I am shooting the Hornady 200 and 250 FTX and some 250gr M/L bullrts that a friend gave me. --- SAWMAN
