I am going to be buying a muzzleloader shortly for hunting elk here in Idaho. I need a muzzlelaoder that uses #11 caps, loose powder, lead conicles, and open sights. I have heard a lot of good about white muzzzleloaders but I have not been able to find out how they compare to muzzleloaders like the CVA Accura, CVA Optima, Knight ultralight, and other nice modern muzzleloaders shooting 400-480ish lead conicles?
Anybody have any info they would like to share?
How do the CVA's and Knight do shooting Heavy lead conicles?
Is cleaning white muzzleloaders a pain in the butt or is it pretty easy like the CVA's and Knights with the quick release plug?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
If you can find a white muzzleloader especially a super 91 then you have it made. I had a 50 using 90 grains of pyrodex rs and a #11 percussion cap along with the 460 super slug it was a thing of beauty. Absolute hammer on Elk and Mule Deer . The only change I made to it was the addition of a lyman peep sight. Using the 460 grain super slugs they load with no resistance, they obturate when the gun is fired . Wish I had the darn thing back.
Super easy to clean and field strip. The way to go if you are using iron sights
