Try some loose triple 7 powder. And a different bullet. I have a CVA Optima V2 50 cal Long Range ml. Topped with a Leupold Ultimate Slam 3x9x40mm muzzle loader scope. I started out with Hornady 250gr SST bullets. And 84 grs of blackhorn by weight. I got mine shooting a 1/2 group at 100 yards. I found a deal on Hornady 290 gr Bore Driver bullets. I fount them for 15.00 per pack. I bought 6 packs of them. They are shooting a hair under 3/4 group. The 250gr SST bullets. I shot at 6 deer. I killed 5 out of 6 of them. The 6th one i hit a small limb. All 5 deer dropped in their tracks. I do a high shoulder shot with my muzzle loader. I hunt with my muzzle loader during rifle season. I like muzzle loader hunting. U can get that CVA shooting under an 1 inch group. I am trying the bore driver bullet out. To see how they perform on a deer. Then, I will go back to the SST bullets.
Thanks for the information! I haven’t ever experimented much with my muzzleloader honestly. I usually just use the same combination because it works well enough for 200 yards and in. However, I may look into trying some different things out when I have time. Thanks!
Low Pressure 50 Caliber Smokeless Loads in a 209 Factory Muzzleloader, 2 DVD set | eBay These 2 DVDs contain a demonstration of using Low Pressure Smokeless Loads in a 50 caliber factory muzzleloader. Savage Arms proved over 20 years ago that a factory muzzleloader can use smokeless powder. A retired Science Teacher/Gunsmith/Inventor used a strain gauge glued to a rifle barrel and the Pressure Trace II computer interface to compare the pressures produced by Blackhorn209 propellant to pressures which can be produced by ten different smokeless powders. These ten smokeless powders do not contain the corrosive oxidizers which can rust a rifle barrel. The loads developed produced a pressure equal to or less than that of 84 grains by weight of Blackhorn209, which a common Black Powder substitute made up of 83% smokeless powder (nitrocellulose). However, Blackhorn209 does contain corrosive chemicals.
I’m not cleaning after every shot, and I’m just running patches down it to clean. I don’t want it to be perfectly clean until I clean it after the season is over
@@brandondrane9710 awesome! Just run a patch every few rounds. I usually don’t keep it extremely cleaned before taking it in the woods, it’ll shoot a little different when it’s clean vs a little dirty, that way I can make multiple shots without worrying about POI shift

I need to grab me a smoke pole before next season.
I’ve been thinking about a fire stick myself 😅

Cool!
How you cleaning it between shots as well as after you zero are you cleaning it and shooting with a clean bore?
I’m not cleaning after every shot, and I’m just running patches down it to clean. I don’t want it to be perfectly clean until I clean it after the season is over
Do you clean your barrel between shots when you sight in???
Not every single shot. I usually clean it every few shots
@@TNRay ok thank you I'm new to muzzleloading and I'm trying to get mine sighted in

Let’s see the groups
I was trying to get this done before I lost daylight so I stopped running down range to take a video of the groups each time.
