one thing i have found is tripple 7 powder tends to gunk the shit out of the breash plug after 3 shots, you want a better cleaner powder if its sold in your area get a bottle of the jim shockeys gold, its made only for .50 cal BP
Hornady SST 250gr. bullets are the bomb in this gun. I recommend to anyone to use TC products to clean the barrel and follow up with Bore Butter to protect the barrel from rust.
Can you tel me what the metal bar and small bar that came with this gun are for? I just bought this gun last night and upon opening the box i noticed a metal bar with like a hexagonal end to it and a smaller bar that fits through it. Also, did you gun come with cleaning brushes or bullets? thanks.
I think you are talking about the spur. It can screw into the hammer or lever to make it easyer to cock or open the gun by giving a larger area for your finger. If you have more questions about the gun feel free to ask!
The small bar goes into the hole at the end of the hexagonal tube. Use it as leverage as you place the hexagonal end onto the breach plug (break open the barrel (:38)). This will allow you to clean the barrel as well as soak the plug!
Word to the wise, use Bore Butter to season the barrel and you will begin to notice the barrel not fouling up as much between shots. Hope this helps.
@djwhips those tools are to remove the breech plug "were you put the primer" you can take theat out and it makes cleaning the barrel super easy. and dont over tighten it when you put it back on
@djwhips thats for taking out your breach plug (the place you put your primer into) you have to screw these out with that wrench to clean the barrel. make sure you keep those things clean.
i have the same gun and ive found that those 350s grain hornady bxts or w/e is the only bullet that these guns will group well with, and man do they hit hard. but i ALWAYS use 3 pellets, 150 grains. never 100 on a bullet that big.
hi good video i use a cva to a 50cal otma 29in barrel i use 150 gr and 180 gr i bot a 180 gr 45 cal hollow point mold i make my own it a hole lot cheaper a shot mine a lot i can kill deer at 250 yds
you need to get a rilfe that can do it and a big scope like a have so you can easy see them out their thats how we do it hear. with the loads we use thier shooting 2300 fps wooooooooow just like a 30-30
I have seen a custom made muzzle loader that would shoot 5oo yards ""But"" It was in the mid 30 cal range and it was always loaded with conventional reloading powder. As for your claim for 250 yards @2300fps with a store bought over the counter gun.Better keep telling that one to people who dont shoot enough to call you on your bullshit story
this will be my last post on the subject... if the 100 gr is conventional powder and the gun is 30 cal yes However no 50 cal with 100 grains of pryro or black powder or black powder substitute will shoot even close to this distance.Dont bother me any more with your foolishness .....
your the fucking ass that started bothing me you fuck just watch the man with his muzzle loader shooting at 400yds with 100grs . i know with a 150grs and a 180gr bullet shoting at 2300fps they will shot and kill deer at 250yds you fucking ass
is this like the cva optima?

How much did you pay for it? Wal Mart has one and its lookin really good to me. I think its actually under 170. Is it worth it?

I use 100 grain w/ .3 , shoots farther and straighter. Does 150 w/ hornady kick much?

@djwhips that is your breech plug wrench, to take the breech plug out
rebel824 1 year ago
@djwhips hey it is for taking the plug out that holds your primer. the little bar is just for torque incase yourgun gets locked up thats all.

the powerbelts are actually pretty good bullets, just not in this particular gun. i believe thats due to the shorter barrel of this gun.

you need to learn to measure if you think you can hit anything at 250 yds with a muzzle loader
