This is my new-to-me CVA Accura with a Leupold 3-9x40. Neighborhoods surround most of my hunting areas now and I think I feel better about touching this off rather than a high powered rifle. I may be strictly a bow and ML hunter the upcoming season. It was purchased before I was put on 6-months buying probation by the wife incidentally.

Good looking ML. Never owned a CVA but like the looks of that ML. I shoot Traditions and Knight ML's and am pleased but would you post what load works best in this ML? I may be in the market for another one before season roll around

Still working on load but I'll post. Shot for first time this weekend just playing around with T/C Cheap Shots and a pellet of Triple 7. I'm going to buy some Blackhorn 209.

Have an Optima also. I think you will be happy with it. Mine likes 100 grains of 777 pellets with a 250gr Powerbelt. Not a big fan of Powerbelts, but the gun likes em...
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I was thinking of using 70-80 grains of BH209. I been shooting the various T/C bullets. What primers you like for the BH209?

AC I use 100gns of BH209 to push a 300gn harvester scorpion in my ML's with deadly accuracy. I did a head shot on a hog at 150 yds with that load combination

Stopped at Academy in Gadsden tonight. No Blackhorn. No primers. Guess I may have to order it. Cullbuck, CVA encourages a Blackhorn breech plug. Not sure about Traditions. Really appreciate all the suggestions. Didn't know we had a muzzleloader Army on here. Very cool.
