Headed to the range tomorrow. Never had or shot a muzzleloader.
I bought a CVA Optima V2. I will be using 247 grain .50 powerbelt bullets, 150 gr. mag charge white hots and federal 209 primers.
First and foremost, I'm planning to fire off atleast enough ammo to zero in my scope and get a good feel for the rifle. Probably 15 to 20 rounds. How many times will I need to clean the barrel during this amount of use? Or will I even need to during this session? And if so, I have all the nessisary cleaning products, what will I need to do to do a quick field clean?
Also, any tips for a first time muzzleloader range session? I'm former military to rifles are not new to me, just muzzleloading. Thank you.
