Thanks to the advice given to me several years ago by member “Buckdoehunter” I bagged another nice deer last weekend with my inline. 90 grains of Pyrodex, a hand-knurled Barnes TZ-250 base bullet pressed into a Harvester sabot, and a 209 primer, rewarded me once again. I had total confidence...

250 grain 50 caliber Barnes TE-Z base bullet in a Harvester black sabot, fired with a 209 primer and 95 grains of Pyrodex “Select” powder. I shot a chubby farmland 5-pointer at 127 yards with my CVA Plains Rifle !

Success following BuckDoeHunter’s projectile advice !

BuckDoeHunter was correct, and his detailed, step-by-step instructions, were easy to follow - it took me 10 minutes to break it down and reinstall that e-clip. I could tell after sliding the e-clip back into place, via needle-nose pliers, that it was a bit to loose (sloppy), which is probably...

BuckDoeHunter ? ! ? ! This guy is awesome. Years ago I had an issue with my Tradition Arms in-line, and BDH painstakingly took the time to help me turn that gun into an accurate weapon. Thank you BDH ! I will let everyone know how it works out. I have a few more questions for BDH: * What would...

I’m guessing that the screw presses down on a type of resistance assembly to add friction to the trigger-pull, and my CVA has defaulted to the minimum trigger pull weight of 2.5 lbs because it appears that turning the screw does nothing. 2.5 lbs trigger pull is what I want. I will call CVA, but...

Not sure what you mean....Do you mean to remove the barrel from the stock?

Hello everyone- Today I turned the trigger adjustment screw on my CVA Plaines Rifle, and the screw continued to turn counterclockwise with zero resistance to the point where I thought it could come completely out, so I screwed it back to the position it was at. When I removed the barrel for...

BuckDoeHunter .....our paths meet again ! I logged into the "Spot On" website again and followed your suggestion - you are correct.....I can put my mind at ease now. A big thanks to everyone who chimed in here - I will be reporting back if I achieve any success. BuckDoeHunter: Your...

Hello everyone - I successfully sighted-in my new CVA Plains Rifle last week, and I was able to consistently hit the bulls-eye at 100 yards. When I got home from the range, I realized that the magnification was only set on 4x or 5x power.....I'm not certain. My question /concern is...

Hello everyone - I just took delivery of a new CVA Accura Plains Rifle, purchased from Muzzle-Loaders.com. I ordered mine in basic-black with a Nikon XR BDC300 scope. I'm going to use Barnes 250 grain T-EZ sabots, with Pyrodex RS loose powder. I've shot many deer from 100+ yards with this...

BuckDoeHunter - I forgot to mention that I used 90 grains of Pyrodex Supreme and the new "40% hotter" #11 caps with your 250 T-EZ and Harvester sabot arrangement. I shot 8 rounds with no issues; 7 rounds for sighting in the gun, and a single shot at the deer........ nummy

BuckDoeHunter - Even though I don't know you personally, you were the FIRST person I wanted to share my success with ! I shot a whitetail buck at 106 yards Wednesday afternoon. Apparently I dropped the deer right where it stood. I didn't actually see it fall due to the smoke - when it...

BuckDoeHunter - I would like to try the same TEZ 250 / Harvester arrangement that you did - it's proven ! What propellant did you use? ....and how much did you use? (I'm guessing it was Pyrodex, by your comment regarding your Buck Hunter being a dirty rifle) I was able to find 50 caliber...

I only have 9 Maxi-Hunter conical bullets left in the 350-grain weight, which I successfully use in my 50 caliber T/C Hawken with 90 grains of Pyrodex, and the #11 cap. For simplicity reasons, it would be great to also use the 350-grain Maxi-Hunter in my 1:32" twist Traditions Arms Buck Hunter...

Yup, my T/C is a 48 twist, and I have successfully used the 350 grain Maxi-Hunter conical bullet in it for deer hunting. I looked on the Cheaper Than Dirt website for a 320 grain Maxi Hunter conical (which would be the mid-point) but all I found is a 320 grain Maxi-BALL, which I'm told isn't...

WOW - that's quite a mushroom ya got there ! ! ! ! Pardon my ignorance, but what does "mk 85" refer to? What distance was that that 500 grain conical bullet was shot from, and what material the target was made from? Also, what was the brand of propellant, and how much was used? nummy

Hello everyone – I’m new to this forum, and I already have a request for your opinions and suggestions. I’m fortunate to own two, 50 caliber muzzle loaders - I successfully use Pyrodex powder in both guns, and they both use #11 caps. Over the years, this has helped to keep everything nice...
