ORIGINAL: il coyote

Wow, 3 pages already.

Saw an add in a local farm and home type store for a CVA wolf mag for $130. It was one model I was already looking at so it might be a go. I'm really just looking for something to get started into blackpowder. I grew up hunting/shooting so the skills are fairly sharp, I'm just used to loading my weapons from the other end of the barrell.

Thanks a bunch, I'll try and stop back in pretty soon.

il coyote, I've got a Wolf I bought last Christmas new in the box for $100. If you want something to start with the Wolf is fine. I'm gettinggood three shot groups at 50 yards and 1.5 inches at 100.I've been using Knight Red Hot 300 gr with Crushed Rib Sabots, 2 50grPyrodex pellets, and Remington Kleen Bore 209 primers. My Wolf shoots also well with loose Pyrodex RS but I'm going to use pellets to hunt with this year. I haven't found a bullet that "won't" shoot well out of it. Powerbelt, Sabertooths, Hornaday XTP's all have worked great. I also have a Nikon Pro Staff 2x7x32. Picture below is a group from 50 yards.
