Dr. Jim Clary Checks Out The CVA Accura V2...

Our good friend Dr. Jim Clary puts the CVA Accura V2 through the paces, and is rewarded with some great accuracy. He also shares how CVA barrels have improved dramatically over the past few years...and just how well the barrel on his test rifle shoots with charges of Blackhorn 209 and IMR White Hots pellets behind both a new version of the 300-grain Power Belt bullet...and especially our favorites - the 260- and 300-grain Scorpion PT Gold bullets.

Muzzleloader 101...Just Thinking About Getting Into Muzzleloader Hunting?

Here's a good read for the first time muzzleloading shooter and hunter. Some of the products mentioned in this run down on getting started into muzzleloading date the article back to the late 1990s. While some of the products mentioned are no longer available, the basic information shared pretty much lays out what the beginner to this sport is getting into. The author's likes and dislikes should be taken with a grain of salt. There are newer and much better powders...advanced sabots & bullets...and more efficient rifle desgins now available which pretty much eliminate a few of the issues discussed.

Cold Weather Ignition With Blackhorn 209...

Blackhorn 209 powder is one of the greatest muzzleloading innovations of all times. This black powder subsitute deivers better velocieis...better energy levels...and better accuracy out of most modern primer-ignition in-line rifles than any other powder. If it has one shortcoming, it is that it takes a properly designed breech plug...and often a hotter primer to insure 100-percent spontaneous ignition. Cold weather can exaggerate the problem. North American Muzzleloader Hunting host Toby Bridges experienced ignition hesitation with a milder No. 209 primer. Here is a look at how he remedied the problem for a hunt with temperatures dipping below zero...getting his rifle and load to print the group shown here.
