H. SINGLE PROJECTILE

1. There is one and only one single projectile for the 12 gauge CVA Shot-

gun. It is a .690 diameter round lead ball, weighing approximately 495

grains. This ball must be suitably patched. (See Page 17.)

2. The powder charge is the same as the volumetric load for l 1/8 ounce of

roundballs. (See page 9 for Table l.)

3. The above projectile, when suitably loaded, will give approximately 1,000

feet per second velocity and 1,100 foot pounds of energy. Velocity at 100

yards is approximately 800 feet per second. Energy at 100 yards is ap-

proximately 700 foot pounds.

I. BUFFERING COMPONENTS

1. Breach loading shotguns, utilizing modern smokeless powder, often have

the addition of buffering components to the shot pellets to prevent defor-

mation and to increase pattern percentage.

CAUTION: Do not use more powder. Use only 2f (ffg) blackpowder.

Do not use 3f (fffg) blackpowder.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should a mini ball, maxi ball,

R.E.A.L. Bullet

, rifled or unrifled shotgun slug be used in the CVA

Shotgun. Use will exceed safety limitations of this type of firearm.
