Thanks Ought 6, that is a great write up of the outcome. Hearing which companies' CS departments do a good/bad job is very valuable information. I'm impressed that they took the extra step to try and determine the actual root cause of the issue and didn't just send it back saying "there's no...

First thing I did on my CVA pistols was take off the rail, clean all of it and locktite it back on.

@Ought 6 definately keep us updated on how CVA resolves the issue.

I wonder if they'll open the T/C Custom Shop back up? That would be great.

Here are the CVA’s I tested this weekend.

If they sell stand alone frames, I’ll pick one up and probably never buy a complete gun again. I like the idea of being able to order any caliber with any barrel length, contour, and twist rate anytime I want.

As a single-shot fanboy, I really hope they succeed. The market needs a cheap, quality single shot switch barrel options. I think their future will be determined by their pricing. Considering that you can get good custom Encore and Contender rifle barrels made in the $400-500 range, if they...

Had some interesting results today with Tac and Benchmark in the 6.5 pistol. The center bull was 4 shots for sighters/fowlers. Upper right target was 42.5gr of benchmark and bottom right was 43.0gr. Next up was TAC. Upper left was 44.0gr and the bottom left was 44.5gr. Best group was the...

@Steve Davis it is a 14" barrel. Very similar design to a TC Contender. Subtract the roughly 2.5" of COAL and there is 11.5" of barrel left to burn powder. If that is the issue, hopefully I'll see an improvement with the TAC or Benchmark.

I worked up 3 pressure ladders today for Benchmark, Tac and CFE 223. My pressure ladder group for CFE 223 wasn't nearly as tight as the TAC and Benchmark, so I will only shoot those 2 for groups tomorrow. No chrony today, but fingers crossed on Benchmark. I started at 38, but made it to the...

Hi all, I was in Scheels today and was surprised by the amount of powder they had in stock. I've been working up loads for the 85gr HH in my 14" 6.5cm CVA Scout Pistol. I have Varget, but I picked up some TAC, CFE-223, and Benchmark today. Was wondering if anyone has tried Benchmark in their...

@Rosebud Thanks for that feedback. Given their price, it's at the top of my list.

Just in case anyone was curious about the .44 mag. I tested XTP's in 180, 200, 240 and FTX's in 225. The gun preferred the lighter weight bullets but produced impressive velocity. 29gr of H110 was just over 2,000 fps in the 180 and 30gr's produced 2,100. A higher level charge of H110 (1gr...

I have looked at the Taurus Tx-22 for a few years, but haven't picked one up. Anyone here have any experience with them?

Will do.

Finally got a chance to shoot both CVA pistols this past weekend. For the 6.5cm I did a ladder pressure test with Varget and had the following results. CVA Scout V2 Pistol - 6.5cm 14" barrel 85 HH Starline LRP Virgin Brass COAL - 2.59 CCI - LRP Varget 1/8th turn on LFCD 42.0 - no pressure...

I don't own one, but looked at them for a while. I had read they would on rare occasion have feeding issues with .44 specials. If I remember correctly, people just loaded .44 mag down if they were experiencing issues. May be worth doing a little research on that if you had a steady diet of...

I think this thread should be a sticky and mandatory reading for all new members. Just so they have full disclosure of the kind of forum they have just joined :LOL:

They have 8 pounders of N555. https://www.brownells.com/reloading/components/powder/n555-high-energy-smokeless-rifle-powder/?sku=749014549
