    Which muzzleloader scope?

    What I liked about the DOA was the eye relief, better then some. Now I am using the Leupold VX R, and a Vortex Viper on my SML's with the CDS dial, Great glass on both, Best of all Great warranty on them.

    What gun were you shooting? Do you have the right BP for BH209 if shooting a CVA Have you cleaned the Breech Plug with a drill bit, to clean the carbon out of it, I will clean it after every 10 shots when at the range, and when done, Was the bullet seated tight on the powder? BH209 likes to have...

    CVA Optima V2 Loading Question

    They stopped doing that with the 2010 models, people were complaining that they were scuffed up and were breaking from screwing the end out and breaking it off then wanted new ones, so they went to a 1 section rod.

    CVA Optima V2 Loading Question

    Where the palm saver goes, get a universal bullet aligner and screw it in there, and it can stay there on the ram rod, carry the palm saver in your pocket, Wally mart is having a sale on there M/L stuff now.

    Bullet questions for new CVA Optima V2

    The Parkers BE's are a very accurate bullet, either 250 gr or the 275 gr, So are the Harvester PT GOLDS.

    That's why I said, unless you carried in barrel down, you would need to check to see if the bullet came off the powder. First off you would be asking for a lot of trouble if you did carry it that way. I Myself would never carry it that way. and like I said earlier, there are to many better...

    fedral bor loc mz

    They have 2 different ones, 1 is the 270 gr that I have tested that is copper, I used a CVA MR with a .500 barrel and a Optima that had a .501 barrel, I loaded them up with a charge in both guns and turned them up side down, and used some carpet on a board to check if they would come off the...

    fedral bor loc mz

    Best part was, they say they are a 200 yard bullet, called and talked to them and they said they never tested them at 200 yards, the computer program they use show it would work, but never tried it.

    fedral bor loc mz

    They are very accurate out of ML barrels .500 or .501, have not tried them in anything larger, they do load easy and shoot very accurate, If you are going to shoot 90 gr to 110 gr of powder, 125 yards is max for them to open up, past that yardage to 200 yards they do not open up unless you plan...

    Should I clean Muzzleloader?

    Like Rich77 said, your gun will tell you what it likes, some will do better with 90 gr and some will tighten the group up and be more accurate at 110 gr, then there are some that like 120 gr MAX for BH 209. When working up a load and it starts to tighten the group up, and then it starts to open...

    Sighting in Muzzeloader..Confused

    Good to hear your problem was solved. If you did want to tighten your group up, you could play with the powder (BH 209 or even T7), and go up with it and see what happens, some times 110 gr will make it 3 shots a 1 inch group if you wanted to, Your gun will tell you what it likes, but the way...

    Sighting in Muzzeloader..Confused

    couple of other bullets would be the Barnes T EZ's or the Hornady 452 250 gr Monoflex bullet, both with the Harvester black easy load sabots.

    Sighting in Muzzeloader..Confused

    When you are shooting BH 209, you do not need to swab the barrel until you clean it, I have shot up 35 times, and did not swab the barrel, it loaded the same on number 30 as it was on the first round. Something you can try is, after you clean it, before you go and shoot it next time, run an...
