I also had to install a Williams fire sight front sight as it is quite a bit lower than the CVA factory sight. I killed my Co. cow at 142 yards with my home cast and powder coated Lee REAL 320 gr. bullets. They shoot awesome out of my rifle when combined with Blackhorn 209 powder. I had 2 tags and was able to take her calf at 184 yards. My good buddy was also able to hang his tag on a real nice 6 point. He shoots an Accura with a SeeAll open sight and 300 gr. Thor's. It was a very Hot, dry, dusty and tough hunt but we were able to fill out. Public land DYI hunt. 2 of the tags came off the leftover list. Happy Hunting to you all, Todd Last edited by Justahunter; 09/25/20.

Are you pouring pure lead? The powder coat acts as a lube and a jacket. It also adds a few thousandths to the bullet diameter, which my particular rifle needed. The groups went from 6” groups to the small 10 shot cluster above. I’ve tried it in several muzzleloaders with different powders. In my experience, it only works with BH209. I am pouring pure lead. Thank you all for the words! Todd

Only open or iron sights allowed in muzzleloading seasons. Fiber optics and fluorescent paint incorporated into or on open or iron sights are legal. Scopes or any sighting device using artificial light, batteries and electronic gear are prohibited during muzzleloading seasons.” I brought it up in a hunter safety class I sat through with my daughter and 2 Game Wardens here told me they were fine. They meet all the criteria above. Good luck and thanks again. Todd

I always enjoy your stories and the fact that you take the young’uns with you- good for you. The picture of the big dead bull at the bottom of a steep, narrow gulley brings back some memories I’d rather not have.....(shudder!) “My horn is full and my pouch is stocked with ball and patch.

Which model??, best place to purchase from?? I have a similar rifle Accura v2. How many grains do you shoot of BH209 powder and which primer?? Send me a PM when you have more time to discuss more ( in between eating all that delicious Elk meet:) MARTIN
