Congratulations and a great story. The CVA is a reliable and most have very good accuracy when the owner finds the right load combo.
I have an Accura V2 and killed plenty of animals with it. I also have a Knight and a couple Remington 700MLs and Encores to go along with my assortment of sidelocks. I even have my 1st smokeless muzzleloader barrel on the way.
I guess I'm a muzzleloader nut. And the reason is just like you said. I like to play with them and squeeze out all the accuracy I can from them. But with so many and 70 years young I have to keep a log book of each one's favorite load!
I almost went into shock when I got my last credit card bill and realized I spen over $1700 on muzzleloader stuff (including a couple more muzzleloaders!)
