It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

No kidding!! LOL!! Thought I'd get the plug and nipple today too but didn't. Got caps, powder, and bullets. Now just need the nipple and breech plug and I'm in business. I'm as happy as a little girl.  :chuckle:

Not sure if this thing is purdy enough for a pic but what the heck.

I'm no authority on Muzzy's but I've been looking for a while. this "feels" like a gun. I'm actually very happy. Some of the other models I looked at just felt cheesy. I almost pulled the trigger on an extended range T/C Black diamond but it was the Long Range model with the long barrel and felt to front heavy. Also i wasn't sure how much I'd like Muzzleloader hunting and didn't want to drop $300.00+ for one and end up not liking it. This was $150.00 shipped.



A big thanks to Wacenturion. You we're a big help I really do appreciate all of your time and patience with my endless questions about spays and whatnot.   :chuckle:

Nice- I love my shooting muzzle loader and I'm sure you will too. PS- let us know the first time you send a bullet down the barrel without powder. :chuckle: :chuckle: Or after you shoot your ramrod down the range. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Or load your powder and forget your bullet.    Been there done that, damn near lit the place on fire.  :chuckle:

I recieved my breech plug and musket cap nipples for my Wolverine from Knight today. Too bad they forgot to thread the breech plug fo the nipples. >:(

What bullets and powder did you choose?

Triple se7en loose powder. Not sure about bullets yet. I'm going to try some Hornady XTP's 300 grn and 290 grn Barnes. Still want to try the 300 grn SST's but havent found any. I need to order some. BH2BT bought some jacketed powerbelts but can't remember the weight.

So MH, when are we going to have a BP shootout?

Nice looking gun!  I got a CVA something or other last year for christmas.  Still sitting in the gun safe, not sure what the hell to do with it.  It came from Cabelas and they apperantly don't take returns.  I guess I can find a book on how to load the damn thing and try it someday.
