Swampratt a friend of mine had one of those Bobcats that was the same way. It was no fun to shoot. BTW...you using WW's to cast those conicals from? Just curious cause you said your alloy was harder.
elwoodtrix that thing is awesome!!
quigleysharps4570 the lead was soft stick on wheel weights mixed with old shower pan lead.
I have tried the clip on wheel weights and you can pull the bullet out of a tree and just about reload it.
Accuracy with the harder lead was terrible.
Buddy named the CVA bobcat "The Mule"
Hardest kicking gun we had .....Until.... He got a full choke single shot 12 gauge that you could stick 3 1/2" magnum loads into.
We got a 2 oz max dram 3 1/2" #4 turkey load and stuck one into that feather weight.
It kicked so quick and hard the front trigger guard would pound your finger.. It cut my buddies trigger finger.
2 shots is all I could take. That was 1 shot too many.
I stumbled back a couple feet and the barrel went for the sky on first shot.. Thought I was not ready so I loaded another.
Same thing.. Guess I was ready after all..Next! Who wants to shoot it.

Know what load he's shooting out of that?
He did all of the loading, so not sure how much powder. I believe it's a .60 caliber.
Would like to hear about that one RM.
