Hello,
I need some advice from you guys if possible. A friend of mine just gave me a CVA Mountain Stalker, he is not much into black powder. I've already got a Accura but no very little about perc. sidelocks. The Stalker has a 1:48 Twist. I would like to see if I can set-up a load for deer hunting,70 yards and less(close range). I would like to give musket balls a try. In my Accura I shoot 100 grains of pyrodex, in the lite Mountain Stalker I would prefer to shoot less. What do guys recommend as far as powder,round ball, and musket caps? Which brand,grain,etc? Thanks, I'm still in the learning phase. I have disassembled the gun and plan to clean it very good. My friend said it was picky sometimes when trying to fire it, he thought it was probably the musket caps or powder(I think he was trying to shoot pyrodex thru it.)
