<< I happen to highly suspect that I will be recieving a Cabella gun for
 Christmas.  Sure, who wouldn't want a handmade, custom gun to "brag on".
 Having raised 2 boys on my own with little extra cash, I just feel damned
 lucky to be getting any gun at all.
 When I go to my next Rendez.  I will be sure to camp on the other side of the
 tracks.
 LOL!!!

You & Henry can camp next to me any time.  I also started with a CVA, but have
gone on to better as I could afford.  The thing you gotta keep in mind is your
rifle may not be as strong as a custom built, but then too, it doesn't realy
require 500 gr of powder to poke a hole in a piece of paper or make a
"clanger" go "DING".  Keep your loads within reason & you should have no
problem.  Play with it a bit & I'm sure you'll find a loading between 40 & 80
gr that shoots just fine that's well within the guns capabilities.  You'll
also save money on powder!!!  We have one father of a big family (8 kids & 3
grandkids all at home yet) that constantly scores well with a .54 only
shooting 35 gr of powder.
