CVA, bullet, powder combination???

[snake]

I just bought a 50 cal CVA, 209.   is 150Grains of powder with a 250 grain bullet a good load or starting point at least?  Shooting Sabots.  expectation is to shoot out to 100 yards.  Not interested in going much further. Thanks for any input.

100 grains of powder is more than enough.

I have the Optima. 100 grains behind a barnes 290 TEZ is what i use.

Cva accura, 100 grains blackhorn 209 powder, 290 grain Barnes TEZ

 my cva Accura I got better groups at 100 yards with 110 grain pellets with an300 grain platinum powerbelt
Smacking clay pigeons at 100 yards and the powerbelts load so much smoother and faster

OptimaV2 100 grains of 777 pellets and a 290 Barnes TEZ

CVA Acura V2, ~115 volumetric units measured Blackhorn 209 (I actually weigh each load to 80 grains weight), and I like to shoot both Barnes 250grain T-EZ and Beartooth 325grain saboted bullets. 

My buddy shoots the white hot pellets in his CVA Wolf behind a Barnes 290 grain.

Both setups are plenty accurate out to 100 yards.   I practice out to farther ranges with my modified sights setup with the 250s.

100 grains

Thanks for all the comments.  I am going to shoot it tomorrow after work.Sounds like most prefer closer to 100 grains than 150.

I always ran mine at 150. but its the magnum.

Loose??

poured into plastic tubes that are marked from 20 - 150 just poured not packed.  also running the Barnes 250 grain spit fire T-EZ bullets.

Sorry just got that lol. I cant stand the pellet's,i tried them and wouldn't work,might have bought a bad batch  but i know my powder always works.

I’d be careful, 120gr of loose is about the equivalent of 150gr pellets. 120gr loose being a “magnum” load. I wouldn’t even think of using 150gr of loose powder.

not being smart but you got me thinking now. 

Been shooting this combo since the start of muzzy deer last year.have shot maybe 4 down the pipe,are you saying i should reduce before something bad happens?if yes what will the 30 grains do to my poi? since the season is running. thanks

I would absolutely reduce it by at least 30gr. I really dont think your POI will be a whole lot different but you should definitely go shoot it a couple times just to be sure.
