I only have one CVA Buckhorn .50 cal...I thought all .50 cals were the same
Your rifle has a fast twist barrel that was made for conicals and sabots. Most of the "Hawken's" have a slower twist, 1:48 that generally does well with both conicals and round balls but isn't the best for either. Some of these will shoot sabots just fine, some won't. Then you have the round ball only barrels which CVA used a good many of which have a 1:66 twist. These won't shoot conicals or sabots with anything remotely resembling accuracy.
