I own 2 CVA optimas. they both shoot very well. I load 90 gr of blackhorn and shoot Barnes 290 gr T-EZ. You could not pay me to shoot powerbelts..garbage Hornady sst is right there with the power belts also.

Well,  trying to sight it in I can attest that the factory rear sight really blows. 


I'll be ordering a new sight, like right now.


really wanted to take it out for cats this morning

I can't speak to primers in the generic CVA 209 breech plug as I don't own one.

In the BH209 specific breech plug the Federal 209A primers work very well.

I reload brass shotgun shells in the RMC brass out of Wyoming, not the Brazilian Magtech, so buy 209A primers in bulk for that.  They work very well in BH209.

Blackhorn 209 powder can get hard to find.  Usually Sportsmans in Puyallup or Federal Way carries it.  I think I saw it at the Bend, OR store recently.  I'll check for you KFHunter if you like and make a run back to WA with it.  If they have it.  I'm in OR more these days than WA.

I'm using AC1696   209 primer conversion kit

295 grain powerbelts


It seems to be shooting very well, but time will tell as I'm still messing with the sights.  those powerbelts are a bear to shove down though
