CVA Endura, paramount replacement

[Sundodger]

Looks interesting but also heavier? I’m assuming if you don’t think you can ever use smokeless where you hunt it may not make sense. Otherwise neat to see innovation like this continuing.

The two different versions they are selling now are quite a bit different in weight. CVA claims the barreled action is the same, so I am assuming the weight difference is in the stocks.

Anybody on here shooting these or doing any load development?

I ordered the LRH model, and started ordering some IMR 4198 powder, cci 200 primers, anarchy muzzle brake, NF 20MOA rail, gonna put a NF SHV on it that I have.

Planning to use Parker Black Max 275 CVA bullets (once he has them back in stock), probably at or close to the 63 grain max CVA suggested.

Saw quite a few responses but didn’t see a thread with any action on it for a while.

There a couple guys on MML that are starting to shoot them.

Yeah I will keep looking over there too, so far best info I’ve found shared has been in Facebook group comments. Thanks

Interesting that the manual says you should “never” shoot saboted bullets because the “high” velocity will melt the sabot but CVA recommends the PowerBelt….

Any updates on how folks are liking their Endura muzzleloaders? The reason I am asking is two of my buddies bought the Arrowhead smokeless muzzle loaders built on Remington 700 actions and love them. They are both running the Revic sights and ringing steel in excess of 400 yards and killing plenty of game (elk, mule deer, antelope). The Endura would be a much more economical alternative, but I know the Arrowhead would not disappoint. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

One of the earlier posts mentioned smokeless powder. My buddies use the smokeless powder for target practice, to save money on the more expensive blackhorn required for hunting. One would think the ballistics would vary, but they have very good results with this. Whatever the deviation, they have it down to a science. I was not aware that this was a thing, until it came up in conversation.
