CVA optima question.

[zebra26]

I am considering this ML.
Speaking with the clerk at the shop he tells me that I would also be able to shoot round ball out of this gun but I could not use loose powder.

So can I use loose powder?
Can i shoot round balls?

I've seen moulds to make 50 cal, I think they are called mini rounds, shaped like bullets, but roll your own, will they work?

And yes I am new to this.

The 1:28 twist rate would not be ideal for round ball with a patch ie; probably not very accurate, it would be easy to clean and stainless steel won't rust..loose powder will work.
Others with a lot more experience than I will probably chime in with more details.
