The new Accura delivered by Fed Ex yesterday from Muzzleloader.com only 3 days from order. Went to the range and shot a few rounds. It was about a foot low at 50 yds. Sight adjustment and it is right where it needs to be. Am heading to the range this morning to work on 100 yds. On the 3rd shot yesterday the palm saver broke off from the ramrod, the threaded part is still in the ramrod.wow ! I’ve shot 100+ rounds and still like new contact CVA
What bullets are you shooting and are they super tight going down ? And do you use a bullet starter?

I hated my accurra and gave it away. Very easy to clean and very accurate. The only problem was the damn thing didn’t go off and cost me 2 bulls in 2 years. I have a friend that has had the same problem with his. You literally couldn’t give me one. :twocents:a coworker has the same issue. I'm always skeptical as poor maintenance is a common problem I see with most muzzy issues so I snagged it for some inspection. Sure enough that dang thing would not go boom about 30% of the time.

Ha, not sure but have only heard good things. Just installed peep sights today and cleaned out factory sludge. Gonna try to get out tomorrow and cap off some 209 powder and Tradition SST Smackdown chunks of lead and see how she does. Will see how I feel. Have had some weird health issues sidelining me for a while :P

Had to order the Blackhorm from muzzleloader.com. None here local in Forks.
Yep...local companies can stock/sell the pellets with no big deal, but, feign away from the synthetic powder for some reason. BH 209 makes big bucks selling the small containers. It’s best to “go in” with a buddy and buy the larger container.

Shooting 110 grains of blackhorn 209. Barnes TM-EZ 290 grains. Yes they are very hard to load. Very accurate though 2" groups at 100 yds. with open sights.I’ve been using 100 gr triple 7 with a 300 gr powerbelt platinum and they’re very accurate and easy to load
And mine has never once had a hang up or miss fire I think maintenance is the key as it is with any muzzle loader

yep proper maintenance is crutial. Its funny.. They made inlines to make them fool proof and yet today, we still have folks that can not figure it out. I even shoot bh209 with the factory plug with zero issues.:tup: it’s a addiction for sure but thoroughly cleaning after and checking before is crucial

I can assure you both that it wasn’t a maintenance issue with me. Gun is cleaned every time and I even unload and reload every day. With my buddies, he had 2 years in a row that it would go off the first time then take 2 or 3 caps for a follow up.

I’m in need of a new muzzy. As mine only goes off half the time. I was leaning toward CVA. If not the accura what model?
Post by: MountainDevil54 on May 26, 2019, 03:41:19 PM
If not the Accura, The non thumb hole optima is a killer accurate muzzy.
Post by: Karl Blanchard on May 26, 2019, 05:32:23 PM
ignition issues normally are an issue with the operator.But not always. Some have manufacture defects and don't work right. Like the accura which CVA warranties because it's a known issue 👍

x2 can’t beat a knight! Wow thousands of rounds. :tup:That’s a lot of rangetime behind a muzzy.

I don't shoot muzzle loader as much as I used to but I had a couple buddies That used to be pretty serious muzzle loader shooters as well and we would buy bullets from PR By the 500 count boxes. We had steal out to 500 and would have some pretty serious competitions Between the 3 of us lol. I put just shy of 300 rounds through my knight last year in preparation for my Nevada hunt. I'm more into long range rifle shooting now but I do have a new muzzle loaded build in the works as should be pretty awesomex2 can’t beat a knight!

5000 rounds is pretty amazing. How many pounds of powder is that?
Post by: Magnum_Willys on May 26, 2019, 08:24:04 PM
Well that's good you haven't had any issues with yours. Lots and lots of people had issues with theirs. This was an even my rifle. I could care less if it worked or not. But I absolutely know how to maintain a rifle and this thing was brand new out of the Box. It 100% has factory malfunctions and CVA is dealing with it accordingly.

Gotta be at least 70 lbs !

78 1/2 pounds of powder if using 110gr per shot for 5000 shots as I believe a pound is 7000 grains

But muzzleloader powder is by volume, smokeless by weight.
Now that is something I didn't consider :chuckle:

JakeLand what bullet are you shooting in your CVA? I am using the Barnes TEZ and they are very hard to get down the barrel.the barnes EZ are great but I’ve found that the power belt 300 grain platinum are just deadly accurate and the load very easy even after a dozen shots ! Dropped my bull 80 yards right in the pump station
I’ve several buddies that have cva’s and none of us have had any issues with them

But muzzleloader powder is by volume, smokeless by weight.Nope same. Either can be dispensed by volume (typical for both) or weight.
Post by: Gunfire on May 30, 2019, 06:39:42 PM
Anyway, I upgraded to a Knight Ultra-lite and have killed bucks with it 3 years in a row. Never ever misfires. I started using 209s in it last year.
My son has a Knight Bighorn which is also an excellent choice. It is a bit heavy compared to the Ultra-lite but has never failed to shoot when you pull the trigger.
Can't go wrong with a Knight.

Sombody at some point has had a misfire with every muzzleloader on the market because they either didnt maintain/clean it, failed to keep it dry, etc. Therefore there isnt a reliable muzzy on the matket worth buying and everyone should just go to modern. :tup:
Yes but if you maintain the gun and keep it dry there should be no issues. Took a decent whitetail in 2016 in pissing rain with a traditional hawken style gun. Did not even have a cover over the percussion cap, however, I use remington caps because I believe they are more reliable and I never point the barrel up. Plus the opportunity in modern pales in comparison to muzzy.

Lol. I was responding to the people saying certain muzzys are unreliable because they know a guy who’s second cousins brother had a Knight misfire once so they aren’t as reliable. Sarcasm is hard to see in text I guess. Would one of these have helped? :chuckle:
