More what? You bought more CVA's, or you think you have more experience in general?
Let me guess your answer.............Both.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

Here's one I put together this week. Older used HS stock, but she definitely shoots. It's for sale if anyone is interested... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n559/lwh723/2012-05-26_15-37-47_353.jpg) 6 shots in <.9" at 100 yards. Lot of wind today, but for me if it's under an 1" at 100, that's about as good as I can shoot. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n559/lwh723/2012-05-26_15-49-36_239.jpg)

FWIW, Natchez Shooter's Supplies currently has Savage muzzle loading rifles in stock. www.natchezss.comTH, like I mentioned, you would get plenty of response about the Savage on this forum. I hope at least some of it has been helpful.

Here is my Knight KP1 with a touching sub 1" group using 120 grains of BH209, CCI 209M primer, Harvester Crush Rib Black sabot, and Hornady 250 grain SST ML series bullet, and the best!!!!! at 100 yards with 1X DOT scope. Not pretty because I was sighting in different loads and didn't care about the target. I was using 2 sand bags in a prone position off the tool box on my truck. ![[Linked Image]](http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa264/hydrashocker/Photo0075.jpg)

You sure that was at 100 yards. That's a pretty lucky group with a 1X dot scope.

As mentioned accuracy isn't the problem.

Yea I measured it with a tape, and yes I have a good eye.
Now that Wolf from Bigblock is something to gawk about right there! Damn nice shootin dude! I need to put a real scope on mine and see if I can punch a group like that.
What model $40 Bushnell scope you using on it? Does it take the recoil????

i believe its the sportsman, can't see the stamping as its under the mount. Had it on everything from a 30-06 to this 50cal muzzleloader and fired countless shots with 120gr BH209. Holds up good and tracks well. Have a newer model bushnell and the rear lens came unglued  still have to send that one back.

I'll use 110gr of BH 209, and a 250gr Thor. Plenty of energy.

thats aprox 1,970 FPS. Maybe a bit less since the wolf has a 24" barrel.
I will be using the wolf with 100gr BH209 and 250gr as a back up gun this year depending on how far away they are LOL.

There you go. The 200yd distance is more for mule deer, but i'll take it for elk is everything is perfect. Very rare.
I try to always get much closer. Much closer.

a little shaky at 200 yards can really send that bullet some where it shouldn't go. Gets worse too, especially at your age when you get mixed up and think your viagra is your heart medication, then you really start to shake.
