Hello all,
I'm checking in to say hello and thank you in advance for any assistance I intend to glean.
I am an avid hunter
I am well versed in firearms BUT absolutely zero experience with or formal understanding of the muzzle loading firearms.
I just received a (very lightly used) CVA Apollo as a gift. Yes I instantly googled it and no the SN on it does not end with the notorious 95 or 96. It's last 2 digits are 98 which I presume is a year of manufacture.
Anyway, It came with an owners manual a couple sabot rounds, a prescription (Rx) pill bottle with preformed "powder" pellets. The cap of the bottle has "use 2" written on it in marker pen, but does not say what grain they are) and a few primer caps in what I am guessing is a holder/ tool for putting the cap in the breach. Please pardon if the terms I am using are not accurate, again I am completely uneducated on the topic.
It also came with a "steel bar" i'm guessing is a tool, that is notched at one end and the other a tip that looks like it's designed to fit into a slot. It also has through and through holes on both ends.
And so here I am; fresh new to the scene and I will be culling as much info as I can ASAP since deer season is upon us here and I sorely want to extand my season with a muzzle load hunt.
Feel free to educate me.
