It is such a nice change of pace to see someone that actually knows what they are doing and giving good advice.
As a felon I was told I could only have certain types of muzzleloaders. I'm hoping I can have this kind, good for hunting and home defense. It's a sad shame I'm still paying the price 20 years after I served my time.
You can get your gun rights restored. Do it yourself or hire a lawyer. Petition the court in your state.
@@thomashocker2792
Federal felony can only get that with a presidential pardon. I can get most my rights back but not own a gun.
@@razial5745 talk to a gun rights lawyer, I believe you can still have your rights fully restored. Especially after such a long time.
A modern cap & ball revolver ( Ruger ) good for home defense, as would be a double-barrel muzzleloader coach shotgun...I've seen ads for ML double-barrrel short shotguns that look pretty handy. North American Arms makes a .22 cap & ball revolver.
Like it was already Saif you can go to court to get your rights restored for certain crimes it truly depends on the felony non violent felonys are easier to restore but drugs and assault it's expensive but certain felonys there's no chance of getting it lifted you can go before the board of pardons or petition the court after a period of time to get it removed from your records entirely but there's loops you have to jump through and a lawyer will be needed
Thanks, that covered everything nicely. Just bought a cheap sidekick .50 cal with a good traditions adjustable scope, impulse buy, knew nothing about muzzleloaders this morning, and by the evening I think I have them figured out.
Thanks now I don't need to read my instructions manual.
That was hilarious!!!
Wait.... thats illegal
That speed loader is freaking awesome!
I like that thing, dude!
CVA Optima V2 is....awesome. For Northeast deer muzzleloader season it is the perfect option.
Thanks gentlemen. That help me a lot.
I like to hunt small game with a .22 LR but have been wanting something affordable, that packs enough punch for deer. Been considering a muzzleloader for about a month now.
Thanks guys this was very helpful
just picked a cva haven’t even shot it yet but i love it already
Im a fan of cva rifles my cva hunter in .243 has taken 2 deer for me
I will be buying a cva muzzle loader as well
Hey guys! Thanks for the excellent video! Years ago I traded some mechanic work for a guy's CVA Hunterbolt .50 cal. but I have never shot it. This video gives me confidence. I'm a modern firearm hunter but I'm going to practice with my CVA this summer and hunt black powder in 2019 season. It'll really improve my chances for bringing home some meat! Thanks again.
Mr Mobile how’s the season going with the Hunterbolt .50 cal?
Good luck, in 2019
I ues loos powder and patched round ball in mine its awsome
I have been a cap-lock shooter for 40 yrs. Never fired a flintlock. Good fun . Clean-up not bad, with a bit of practice. Had best luck with in-line guns, like these. Side-hammer guns OK, if nipple delivers the flame directly into the powder charge, without twists & turns. Have had a CVA Bobcat .54 for 30 yrs, and despite everything , have never been able to make it go ' bang ' every time. With a nipple drum, fire has to make two 90 degree turns prior to reaching the powder. Even musket caps, priming the nipple, etc proved ineffective.
There is a fitting you can purchase that turns it into a 209 shotgun primer.
@@thomashocker2792 Sounds worth a try. Tks.
Make a video 9n what to use in a northwestern CVA muzzle loader as what your people on the phone say and what the handbook say go against each other
Good video 👍
We dont have many of these types in Australia for some reason but I am looking
They are around. But yeah they take some finding. I have 2. An old inline that uses caps and a Lyman Mustang 209
I’m here to see the primers. Only chance I get these days!
No doubt and I’m responding two years later
I want one soooo bad
My accura has to be cleaned a bit after each shot or a second bullet will not seat properly…any thing I can do to help…I shoot two white hot pellets under a 245 grain power belt…Thanks
Why not use ram rod that comes with cva accura? It's on already on the rifle. ;)
because its too short to check if your rifle is unloaded.other than that its great
Can you always use the pellets or do you have to use loose powder? I know it's a dumb question I'm just interested in getting a muzzleloader.
You can use either or , just get the Blackhorn 209 Breech plug for loose powder, the Breech plug that comes with the rifle (CVA) has a tiny pinhole for the fire channel whereas the Blackhorn 209 Breech plug has a much larger Hole for the fire channel , get all your Muzzleloader needs met at www.muzzle-loaders.com
Loose powder is cheaper than pellets but more hassle measuring. I use loose powder. 😀
traditional percussion rifles are more fun imo that these newer ones
I’m disappointed that you didn’t use the ramrod that came with the gun. I came here because my cva wolf come with a 4 inch extension you have to use to load it but it doesn’t fit in the holder now I have to carry it separately and possibly lose it when I might need a second shot. And I was wondering if I can load it without the extension thing without damaging the bullet
I was wondering the same thing. Just got mine and I love it but it doesn't make sense that the ramrod doesn't fit the holder with extension piece on
Is it ok to handle the powder with bare hands?
The only thing I do not like about inline muzzleloaders is the projectile is too expensive you could probably get away with round balls
Hello, I just purchased a CVA Bobcat 50 cal muzzleloader, does anybody know where I can find a user manual PDF online?
Why do some instructions have you use only two powder pellets instead of three. I’ve been shown to only use two pellets n
Where do I find an owners manual for a 2008 Accura?
i got a cva for christmas last year and was doing what i thought were magnum charges with the white hots. it clearly says on the side of the box (i'm looking at it now) to "never exceed a total of two (2) Preformed Charges." are the rifles you're using capable of handling more charges?
Got to check with the manual for the gun
Hogden says the same thing...it's just a cya for them...
Here in Colorado, pelletized powder is illegal. Thanks for showing me both ways
zebra hunter why tho
It has seemed to be that Colorado has drifted more and more to the left when it comes to gun rights. That's a damn shame, as I have always thought of the West as the most open and free region of the US. What the hell is wrong with people there? I don't know. Even the governor is a Democrat.
@@sorenpx it's not so much as that as that their idea of muzzleloading is go old or don't bother
@@zebrahunter6956 So the government is going to make it illegal?
@@sorenpx You can own it, you just can't hunt with it.
I like your video you have made to teach people about how to load their gun can't wait to see more videos do you have any more tips on deer hunting
When you load up your gun how long can you let it stay load
Month max
It seems like a modern musket
can you shoot just he powder?
This is a year late. But yeah, but you won’t really be shooting anything as there’s no projectile.
The pressure from the gunpowder igniting and exploding out is still dangerous though if you’re too close to someone.
Be careful with just powder in the gun because you probably still need some kind of wad on top of it. There was a civil war reenactment near me and one of the guys got hurt with the wad that the other guy put in his gun to hold the power in place to shoot it.
I purchased a CVA Wolf last year. I took it out to sight it in today and it shoots high. I changed powder charge and projectile type and weight and no luck. what do I need to do
Tammy Pickett if it has a scope on it adjust the scope If not find out how to adjust the sights I recommend a scope
I have a wolf and love it. Adjust your scope dude.
Mine shoots very accurate with less powder. Like 70 grains. All my shots are 35 to 40 yards.
I have trouble with my CVA muzzleloader shooting all over the place. Do you have to allow the barrel to cool or clean it every time before shooting when sighting in the scope? Never had a muzzleloader so not sure what is to be expected.
Recommended that you run a swab down the barrel each shot, I do every 3 shots, I think I use a 20 ga swab, I use 50 grain pellets and 295 grain powerbelts
You want to clean barrel in between every shot when sighting in. Either a wet swab followed by a couple of dry patches, or wet patch followed by a couple of dry. You'll never get consistency with a dirty barrel. Also some guns just don't like certain powder bullet combination. I never could get my Omega to shoot powerbelts accurately, but shoots moa with shockwaves. Also if you're using 209 shotgun primers, buy some triple seven 209 primers... regular 209's are to hot for muzzleloaders. Your charge is being pushed down the barrel before ignition. That will also hurt accuracy...
Try different grain of loose powder with patched round balls and see if that helps. Just a thought 💭.
Or the pallets
Is loose powder better ?
Can’t say it’s absolutely better but loose powder is what I’ve used for the last forty years. And it’s never let me down. And it has always been cheaper then prepared power. And with the right Measure you can get whatever grain of powder you want to put into your gun. Go buy one and over time you will own several.
One pop..
Wait do you need to use a primer to clear the chamber every time before reloading? Or just the first time?
Pierre C should do it every time you clean it or swab, helps flush any debris or moisture from the swabs out of the breech plug hole
You dont need to
I would
I shoot only round balls in my black powder rifles but what I do is carry a tin with all of my patches cut to size and soaked in a black powder lube and they clean the barrel well enough for me to shoot all afternoon every time I load the gun.
You have to do that whole procedure every time you want to shoot the gun? Seems like a lot of work!
Shaine MacDonald that’s why you want to shoot something close to make sure your first shot is a kill shot
It's a hobby, and it's a challenge. You get 1 shot
It's for cons...
most snipers have only one shot
@@adrianguerrero7699 it's also another deer tag.
What’s the retail on these bad boys
Midway has the Wolf for $204 right now
I got a brand new optima v2 lr out of the box and the hammer won’t cock when the breach plug is in the gun I want a full refund with free shipping
You have no idea how important it’s is to fire the primer through the gun first. Long story short the fireball made the skin slough off my face and I missed the deer…
Shotgun primers are too hot for muzzleloaders. You push the powder charge down the barrel before it can ignite leaving a powder ring a few inches from the breech...that's why triple seven makes reduced power primers for muzzleloaders
They say Black Horn 209 requires a 209 primer.
It sounds like you need a tighter sabot.
@@SpotterVideo or you should research what I said!
@@johnwilliams2427 I understand what you are saying. I build smokeless muzzleloaders that shoot a 275 grain bullet 3,000 fps. I use Large Rifle Magnum Primers in some of my muzzleloaders but use 209 primers in others.
800th like
congratulations, want a fucking cookie?
that is a lot of work. why would people prefer these over a regular round?
Muzzeloaders have longer seasons to hunt....atleast in pa
And you can only really feel like Jeremiah Johnson with a muzzleloader.
Each shot is more satisfying
Hunting deer earlier and longer
Because it's cool...
Send me the Acura v2
I been trying to figure out why people who shoot muzzle-loaders want to shoot inline rifles with metal jacketed bullets? I mean if you want your BP rifle to be modern why not just use a center fire rifle. For me, modern inline BP rifles defeat the nostalgia of the side lock and traditional BP guns. Its like people are embarrassed by the side locks.. I love how BP companies have created a new market based on old tech and have made the prices for these guns ridicules.
Tapps47 in my state, Florida, we shoot muzzle loader because there are certain wildlife management areas that offer muzzle loader only hunts, so it allows us to be in the woods a few more days each year. You can get a decent gun for $500, which is no more expensive than a center fire hunting rifle. Also, most people would much rather shoot a jacketed projectile than a round ball any day of the week, if anything, it improves accuracy, which improves the chance that the game is harvested and recovered.
@Highlighted reply, Not to be rude, i wasn't asking why people use muzzle-loaders. I was asking why the People want to shoot a BP rifle that is almost a modern gun in the first place. A lead bullet is still deadly right? People forget what BP hunting is all about. its not about taking game at ranges close to modern center-fire guns or it shouldn't be. The art of stalking with a BP gun seems to be forever gone. Why would anyone sneak up on game when they can just sit in a tree or on a hill and shoot 500 yards. Seems to me the challenge is missing. I see lots of people making videos of longer than 100 yard kills. I remember when you would take deer and elk at 70 yards and consider that great hunting with BP rifles. The other question is: Are these new rifles hurting populations more due to the increase of game kills? When the rate at which you can take game increases, so does the overall numbers of game taken in any area. My honest opinion.
Tapps47 not all who shoot mzl ldr are trying to emulate Daniel Boone or do it old school. It's just one more method to take game. And I'm doubtful that shooting modern muzzle loaders compared to old school loose powder and lead ball is doing any more damage on the population of game. We do have bag limits in place and they are the same no matter what type of muzzle loader u choose (in modern times of course)... and to your point of making hunting easier just sitting in a tree and shooting to 500 yds... That's not an easy shot no matter what type of firearm you use. With that statement, I have to wonder if you even hunt or handle firearms on a regular basis? just my opinion.
@B C , I guess what i should of stated is, I wonder how much faster these "limits" get reached when using more modern muzzle-loaders as compared to the old way. And yes people do make over 100- 600 yard shots with modern BP rifles. I realize that you are trying to rationalize modern BP rifles. And to stop you there, i am not saying that is wrong. I am not even saying any BP rifle old or new is even bad. As for me hunting with BP i have, from shot guns to pistols. So, no more speculation is necessary about things you can not know as its concerning me personally. I dont show any hunting videos with BP guns on my channel, but i do have videos uploaded shooting BP guns.
Because people have different preferences and you can learn to mind your business when things dont effect your life?
Guess they never heard of Blackhorn 209
Triple 7, better and cheaper...
Flintlock or caplock is the way to go though. Feels more traditional
I THINK I'LL STICK TO THE GOOD OLD CAPSLOCK INSTEAD.
I had a T/C 50 cal flintlock and it was a beautiful gun but I couldn’t get it to fire consistently. And there’s nothing worse then a gun that goes click and no bang. I sold it but wish I would have just put it back in the corner. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Why so much powder 50 grains is plenty
I'll never get having all that modern crap on a black powder rifle, then never using black powder anyway. Why not just shoot a modern break top action? It makes no sense to me.
Where we hunt, muzzle loaders are legal two weeks earlier than modern firearms are, meaning it's generally still warmer out, and the deer aren't as wary yet.
Muzzle loader season is longer. Plus black powder rifles are legal for felons in some states, whereas a single shot break action might not be.
For the average person though, a henry single shot rifle would be an upgrade.
"Accura V2" Wut?
If it's not a trading muzzle loader, I'm not interested.
Not doing a good cleaning of your breach area.
why would you want a civil war gun?? I guess for fun, it's definitely not for self defense?
Hunting. .50 cal would drop a 14 point buck
tom jones: actually a lot of people use them for self defense cause that's all they can afford/obtain, price of a 1851 confederate revolver & some muzzleload rifles brand new is just $199 compared to modern smokeless powder guns of today. BP guns offer a lot for folks who live in anti-gun areas where getting a modern gun is difficult. Also they are still a good option for hunting, & a good teaching gun for beginners. Of course modern guns are better but if it's all you can obtain its better than nothing.
@@jameswiles4858 Totally agree. I'm in CT and black powder is not only easier than jumping through multiple hoops, but just neat for historical reasons and cost effective. We're surrounded by history and muzzleloaders help out you back in the shoes of people before you.
First
second
Makes no sense all the extra work here. There's a reason why this type of gun was invented centuries ago.
This is not my muzzle loader
