Very nice tutorial. The information about and the showing of the breech plug hole, along with the importance of keeping it clean, will help those shooting a muzzleloader maintain good performance.
A torch cleaning file works good in the breach plug hole. I always clean again right before season. Like you said, some oil or grease can settle in the breech after storage.
Very informative. I just picked up a breech plug cleaning kit for my CVA Wolf. It works great. Will also try the compressed air. You are the first video I have watched that show how to seat the bullet. Thank you.
Great training video. Im new to CVA muzzleloaders. I have seen horror stories with the newer rifles and which gunpowder not to use. Well done and Thank you for sharing.
Here in Colorado they won’t let us use pellets or a scope on a muzzleloader. I wish they would rethink it. I never thought about the compressed air thing for blowing out the crud. One thing I keep in my muzzleloading bag is a welding torch tip cleaner. It works pretty good also for pushing the crud through. Great video. Keep up the good work.
I see you're using the 777. I also just started using 777 after years of using pyrodex. I found with the 777 that the barrel fouls heavily quickly, making the second and definitely third shot extremely difficult to load. Your experience with triple seven?
Only been using it for 2 seasons. A guy in the store when I was buying the Wolf recommended it. He told me he has 7 different muzzleloaders and does some serious shooting with them. I do clean after 1 or 2 shots so I haven't noticed much difference. I had been using Pyrodex prior also.
Make sure the breech plug is not rusted to the barrel and the breech plug hole is not corroded. Also make sure the barrel doesn't have excessive rust in it. Equipment can be found at most outdoor stores. Dunhams, Walmart, Bass Pro, Cabelas
Some recommend not to. Moisture on hands "could" cause a misfire. I actually worry more about condensation from the gun leaving a warm camp or house and going into the cold and then maybe back into a warm heated deer blind. This produces a lot more moisture than my hands ever could.
I am a cheapskate I'm just looking for something maybe to shoot around 45 to 50 yd could you get away with a patched round ball with a low powder charge of about 75 grains and hunt a deer or a wild hog ninety-nine percent of my shooting will just be shooting beer cans at 30 to 40 yards so I guess I could even go down to like 30 grains
Just a personal opinion, not a critique of anyone's choice but I see modern in-lines as nothing more than slow reloading modern firearms. But to each his or her own.

@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors You might see groups tighten up. You wouldn't think it would matter, but it might. Depending on shooter ability and stability of the rest. Probobly doesn't matter for whitetails 100yds and in. Did you get blood on that rifle yet?

thanks Hodag
A lot
I just my first muzzle loader. It's a wolf. Got it a pawn shop that I work at. Need an optic and the rest to go shooting. Thanks for the information
Welcome
I shoot the same gun only in composite black stock. Excellent rifle for the money and very accurate! Thanks for the video Dave!
welcome Mark
If you don’t like how the power belt bullets perform, try Barnes TEZ they are great. Many people don’t muzzleload and this video will help for sure.
thanks

good idea
Great video. Step by step instructions. Keep up good work.
Thanks, will do!
I need to get back in the muzzleloader game hopefully next year. I've looked at the Wolf and it seems like a pretty good rig. Thanks for sharing Dave
do it

Your intro is fantastic!
Glad you think so!

Wow.
That's crazy.
In Montana they just got muzzleloader season.
I'm in Kansas I don't think there's any restrictions.
good idea
Very well explained. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video I appreciate your time doing it.
I always like to learn a little bit
Glad to help
I always store my thompson omega upside down with no breech plug in the off season. Might be a little extreme but it works for me.
great idea
Thanks great information want to get a muzzleloader.
thank you
Well know I know how to shoot a muzzle loader great video. 👍
welcome
Great no nonsense video on the Cva wolf muzzleloader.may I ask what type of bench rest you were using?
It's a Predator brand and I bought it at a Menards store. Thanks!
Thank you sir for the reply!
Thank you for the information.
welcome
To purchase MUZZLELOADER ACCESSORIES - amzn.to/3xcfRVD
Tell me, other than more work, what is different from a modern projectile? Seems to me a challenge would be using a flintlock?
Yes, they are very much like a gun shell rifle. Most of the time the deer are a challenge enough for me! LOL!
Range, muzzleloaders your good out to 100 maybe 150 yards and no follow up shots.
I have a cc’s wolf and I have broken 2 ramrod with palm saver both in the same spot the threads in palm saver
sucks

Where did u get that stock in camo? I love it and would like the same
At a Dunhams store.
Seen one at pawn shop for $150 anything to keep an eye out for. Where do I get all the ammo and cleaning equipment?
Make sure the breech plug is not rusted to the barrel and the breech plug hole is not corroded. Also make sure the barrel doesn't have excessive rust in it. Equipment can be found at most outdoor stores. Dunhams, Walmart, Bass Pro, Cabelas
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors Thank you for reply.
What is the purpose of the oval shaped cut out in the back of the breach plug?
Well, the primer sticks out a little, so it needs to be recessed to allow the gun to close.
Do you let it dry between shots after running a wet patch?
You are welcome!
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors if you answered the question, it didn’t post.
@@T__Rex__0727 Sorry about that, if the barrel is wet, yes, let it dry or run a dry patch.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors ok thank you!
Is it ok to handle the powder with bare hands?
Some recommend not to. Moisture on hands "could" cause a misfire. I actually worry more about condensation from the gun leaving a warm camp or house and going into the cold and then maybe back into a warm heated deer blind. This produces a lot more moisture than my hands ever could.

I think I paid around $300 for this package
Great video! Makes me glad to shoot my .45 cal Texan tho 😉
cool
Maybe put some lens caps on too lol
yes
Would you sell this?
No I'm keeping it.
How come my gun won't close after cocking it
I don't know for sure, but it may be built that way. No reason to cock it when open.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoorsmy gun won't stay closed
First, lol. I got no life! 😂😂
thanks for being early and often!
This was 2 years ago and I bet the bore is rotted out of this one by now because that cleaning method is way off!
Help me out. What part specifically is off. I'm open to learning better ways. Thanks
Just a personal opinion, not a critique of anyone's choice but I see modern in-lines as nothing more than slow reloading modern firearms. But to each his or her own.
Very true.
The purpose of a muzzleloader is to engage in muzzleloader-only hunting season. It gives you 3 more weeks to hunt.
$27.99 everyday low price on bullet package 😂 for 15 bullets
nice

Don't touch your powder. That's what that pipe cleaner is for.
You are correct. I should use the pipe cleaner, but I've never had a problem.
@@KnettersPracticalOutdoors You might see groups tighten up. You wouldn't think it would matter, but it might. Depending on shooter ability and stability of the rest. Probobly doesn't matter for whitetails 100yds and in.
Did you get blood on that rifle yet?
