Hey guys! Thanks for the excellent video! Years ago I traded some mechanic work for a guy's CVA Hunterbolt .50 cal. but I have never shot it. This video gives me confidence. I'm a modern firearm hunter but I'm going to practice with my CVA this summer and hunt black powder in 2019 season. It'll really improve my chances for bringing home some meat! Thanks again.
I have been a cap-lock shooter for 40 yrs. Never fired a flintlock. Good fun . Clean-up not bad, with a bit of practice. Had best luck with in-line guns, like these. Side-hammer guns OK, if nipple delivers the flame directly into the powder charge, without twists & turns. Have had a CVA Bobcat .54 for 30 yrs, and despite everything , have never been able to make it go ' bang ' every time. With a nipple drum, fire has to make two 90 degree turns prior to reaching the powder. Even musket caps, priming the nipple, etc proved ineffective.
You can use either or , just get the Blackhorn 209 Breech plug for loose powder, the Breech plug that comes with the rifle (CVA) has a tiny pinhole for the fire channel whereas the Blackhorn 209 Breech plug has a much larger Hole for the fire channel , get all your Muzzleloader needs met at www.muzzle-loaders.com
I’m disappointed that you didn’t use the ramrod that came with the gun. I came here because my cva wolf come with a 4 inch extension you have to use to load it but it doesn’t fit in the holder now I have to carry it separately and possibly lose it when I might need a second shot. And I was wondering if I can load it without the extension thing without damaging the bullet
I like to hunt small game with a .22 LR but have been wanting something affordable, that packs enough punch for deer. Been considering a muzzleloader for about a month now.
My accura has to be cleaned a bit after each shot or a second bullet will not seat properly…any thing I can do to help…I shoot two white hot pellets under a 245 grain power belt…Thanks
It has seemed to be that Colorado has drifted more and more to the left when it comes to gun rights. That's a damn shame, as I have always thought of the West as the most open and free region of the US. What the hell is wrong with people there? I don't know. Even the governor is a Democrat.
i got a cva for christmas last year and was doing what i thought were magnum charges with the white hots. it clearly says on the side of the box (i'm looking at it now) to "never exceed a total of two (2) Preformed Charges." are the rifles you're using capable of handling more charges?
This is a year late. But yeah, but you won’t really be shooting anything as there’s no projectile. The pressure from the gunpowder igniting and exploding out is still dangerous though if you’re too close to someone.
Be careful with just powder in the gun because you probably still need some kind of wad on top of it. There was a civil war reenactment near me and one of the guys got hurt with the wad that the other guy put in his gun to hold the power in place to shoot it.
I have an optima V2 and I must have some bad luck with the breech plug. My primers fit nothing like what is shown at 2:26 in this video. When I put the primer in its extremely loose and can even be angled while in the primer pocket. I received a replacement breech plug but it is still having the same issue. Have you had this before?
It sounds like a primer issue. Our breech plugs are machined to a precise spec. The 209 primers are generally stamped metal that is less precise. I would suggest trying another brand of primers and see if you still have that issue.

Can’t say it’s absolutely better but loose powder is what I’ve used for the last forty years. And it’s never let me down. And it has always been cheaper then prepared power. And with the right Measure you can get whatever grain of powder you want to put into your gun. Go buy one and over time you will own several.
I have trouble with my CVA muzzleloader shooting all over the place. Do you have to allow the barrel to cool or clean it every time before shooting when sighting in the scope? Never had a muzzleloader so not sure what is to be expected.
Recommended that you run a swab down the barrel each shot, I do every 3 shots, I think I use a 20 ga swab, I use 50 grain pellets and 295 grain powerbelts
You want to clean barrel in between every shot when sighting in. Either a wet swab followed by a couple of dry patches, or wet patch followed by a couple of dry. You'll never get consistency with a dirty barrel. Also some guns just don't like certain powder bullet combination. I never could get my Omega to shoot powerbelts accurately, but shoots moa with shockwaves. Also if you're using 209 shotgun primers, buy some triple seven 209 primers... regular 209's are to hot for muzzleloaders. Your charge is being pushed down the barrel before ignition. That will also hurt accuracy...
I shoot only round balls in my black powder rifles but what I do is carry a tin with all of my patches cut to size and soaked in a black powder lube and they clean the barrel well enough for me to shoot all afternoon every time I load the gun.
I purchased a CVA Wolf last year. I took it out to sight it in today and it shoots high. I changed powder charge and projectile type and weight and no luck. what do I need to do
Shotgun primers are too hot for muzzleloaders. You push the powder charge down the barrel before it can ignite leaving a powder ring a few inches from the breech...that's why triple seven makes reduced power primers for muzzleloaders
@@johnwilliams2427 I understand what you are saying. I build smokeless muzzleloaders that shoot a 275 grain bullet 3,000 fps. I use Large Rifle Magnum Primers in some of my muzzleloaders but use 209 primers in others.
I'll never get having all that modern crap on a black powder rifle, then never using black powder anyway. Why not just shoot a modern break top action? It makes no sense to me.
Where we hunt, muzzle loaders are legal two weeks earlier than modern firearms are, meaning it's generally still warmer out, and the deer aren't as wary yet.
Muzzle loader season is longer. Plus black powder rifles are legal for felons in some states, whereas a single shot break action might not be. For the average person though, a henry single shot rifle would be an upgrade.
I been trying to figure out why people who shoot muzzle-loaders want to shoot inline rifles with metal jacketed bullets? I mean if you want your BP rifle to be modern why not just use a center fire rifle. For me, modern inline BP rifles defeat the nostalgia of the side lock and traditional BP guns. Its like people are embarrassed by the side locks.. I love how BP companies have created a new market based on old tech and have made the prices for these guns ridicules.
Tapps47 in my state, Florida, we shoot muzzle loader because there are certain wildlife management areas that offer muzzle loader only hunts, so it allows us to be in the woods a few more days each year. You can get a decent gun for $500, which is no more expensive than a center fire hunting rifle. Also, most people would much rather shoot a jacketed projectile than a round ball any day of the week, if anything, it improves accuracy, which improves the chance that the game is harvested and recovered.
@Highlighted reply, Not to be rude, i wasn't asking why people use muzzle-loaders. I was asking why the People want to shoot a BP rifle that is almost a modern gun in the first place. A lead bullet is still deadly right? People forget what BP hunting is all about. its not about taking game at ranges close to modern center-fire guns or it shouldn't be. The art of stalking with a BP gun seems to be forever gone. Why would anyone sneak up on game when they can just sit in a tree or on a hill and shoot 500 yards. Seems to me the challenge is missing. I see lots of people making videos of longer than 100 yard kills. I remember when you would take deer and elk at 70 yards and consider that great hunting with BP rifles. The other question is: Are these new rifles hurting populations more due to the increase of game kills? When the rate at which you can take game increases, so does the overall numbers of game taken in any area. My honest opinion.
Tapps47 not all who shoot mzl ldr are trying to emulate Daniel Boone or do it old school. It's just one more method to take game. And I'm doubtful that shooting modern muzzle loaders compared to old school loose powder and lead ball is doing any more damage on the population of game. We do have bag limits in place and they are the same no matter what type of muzzle loader u choose (in modern times of course)... and to your point of making hunting easier just sitting in a tree and shooting to 500 yds... That's not an easy shot no matter what type of firearm you use. With that statement, I have to wonder if you even hunt or handle firearms on a regular basis? just my opinion.
@B C , I guess what i should of stated is, I wonder how much faster these "limits" get reached when using more modern muzzle-loaders as compared to the old way. And yes people do make over 100- 600 yard shots with modern BP rifles. I realize that you are trying to rationalize modern BP rifles. And to stop you there, i am not saying that is wrong. I am not even saying any BP rifle old or new is even bad. As for me hunting with BP i have, from shot guns to pistols. So, no more speculation is necessary about things you can not know as its concerning me personally. I dont show any hunting videos with BP guns on my channel, but i do have videos uploaded shooting BP guns.
You have no idea how important it’s is to fire the primer through the gun first. Long story short the fireball made the skin slough off my face and I missed the deer…
I had a T/C 50 cal flintlock and it was a beautiful gun but I couldn’t get it to fire consistently. And there’s nothing worse then a gun that goes click and no bang. I sold it but wish I would have just put it back in the corner. Hindsight is always 20/20.
tom jones: actually a lot of people use them for self defense cause that's all they can afford/obtain, price of a 1851 confederate revolver & some muzzleload rifles brand new is just $199 compared to modern smokeless powder guns of today. BP guns offer a lot for folks who live in anti-gun areas where getting a modern gun is difficult. Also they are still a good option for hunting, & a good teaching gun for beginners. Of course modern guns are better but if it's all you can obtain its better than nothing.
