Keyholing at 50 yards with 50 grains of Triple-7 in my CVA Optima. Even the highly advertised loads using Power-Belt bullets and Pyrodex Pellets don't come close to these.

Alright, knowing that everyone will have different opinions on what they claim as the ā bestā . But I have a "CVA Optima Magnum" muzzleloader. Iā m trying to figure out what would be the best bullet to fit my needs. Mainly use it for deer hunting, but Iā m wanting good accuracy at longer ranges (100 - 200 yards), as well as good knock down power. It has a 1:28 twist in a 26ā barrel. Any suggestions on bullet type/powder load? muzzle loader beginner - Page 3 - The Michigan Sportsman Forums::

It cleans powder, lead and plastic residue then retrieves it from the barrel. Having a separate cleaning/loading rod is convenient and time saving. For best results use the correct size patch, square or round made of cotton flannel. CVA .50 cal. Optima, Kodiak, Wolf & Beartooth Inlines
