I am really loving my .58 cal Mountain Rifle..8 shots @ 50 yards using a 562 roundball Walmart blue pillow ticking with my homemade lube also with 85 grains of my homemade black powder.

Mine likes .562 Wheel weight ball, 120 grains home made powder and a olive oil lube ticking patch. Only one I have ever seen come up for sale in New Zealand. Pleased I grabbed it. Knocked over a 4 Point Red Stag with it 2-3 weeks ago, damaging!!
 
Nice looker! I just aquired one a couple weeks ago it had been in a guys garage for 20 years he hadn't gotten around to tossing in the trash. The nipple was blown out if the drum. Easy fix for me just need to test it out.

Beautiful! What stain and finish did you use?
 
You have it all under control. The CVA has an exceptional barrel (Bergara).
You can take all North American Big Game with that rifle.
Plenty will take it off you if and when you decide sell it.

In the early 1980s I had a kitset CVA Mountain Rifle .58 that we put together. I shot very well G&O 2f 120 grains .562 RB and a canvas patch. Shot a few Red and Fallow deer with it. certainly did the job extremely well. got Talked out of it and sold her at a week moment about 1989 or 90 in a weak moment. It woud be hardcase if you have the same rifle.
Cheers.
