Lets see some Smokeless Muzzleloaders

[fullstream]

Fullstream, how does that rifle shoot for you and what is the twist?

I looked at converting one but someone told me the twist wasn't good for a MZ. If I got some bad info I want to convert one like yours BAD.

The cva stalker shoots lights out. Very accurate had 4 shots @ .75. It is a pretty heavy gun so the recoil w/ 60 n120 is very mild. The only issue is its a loose bore bu a quick knurl fixes it. The stock shoulders great for me. I am very impressed with this gun. I just picked up a cva Apex & hope it shoots half as good as the stalker ill be happy. The encore has a tight barrel and shoots very good as well, have only shot it once. This is a very light gun so recoil is up there.

Since getting into smokeless muzzy's i've seen some stock savages just flat out shoot and others that won't group worth a dime.

...I was scared to death ...

Your worries are unwarranted for sure. Looks like you have a shooter with that gun and load combination.

I'm in love with this sucker, cheaper to shoot, no cleaning, and flat accurate.

I got a little better accuracy out of the hornady HP and the BCR, but just a fraction, that might be what I shoot this year I'm not sure yet.

BTW, rubberduck you found us any primers?

That's a GIANT no Rock. I talked to Rebel Pawn and Lawson's and they can't even backorder them. Hopefully the supplies will be replenished by September or so.

Thanks Andy but Rockhound and myself are in search of Federal 209A primers.
