well i finally broke down and bought a new muzzleloader..i was getting tired with hassling with the old 45 cal. and i moved onto the .50 cal. cva wolf..i also got some 245 grain powerbelts to shoot out of it but i havent gotten any pellets or powder yet..i think im going to go with the pellets because ive heard great things about them..anyways for all you pro's let me know if this was a good gun to buy and if u know anything about it or any tips..thanks
