Default RE: CVA Wolf Help???

Fenrick - first off welcome to the forum. It is good to have you here. I have no idea what is included with your starter kit. Si what else you might need is kind of hard to answer.

Powder would be Pyrodex RS or Triple Se7en 2f. I helped a person sight in a Beartooth Magnum by New Frontier a few years ago. They are the same thing as the Wolf. I found that 85 grains of Triple Se7en and a 240 grain XTP or a 245 grain Powerbelt shot real well out of the rifle. Whether that means your rifle will shoot them well is anyone's guess.

Primers - I like the Winchester W209 or the Remington Kleenbore 209 primers. You can get them at almost any Wal Mart.

Short Starter to help set the sabot will be needed. As for projectiles, the XTP's Shockwaves, Gold Dots, Powerbelts, are all good places to start.

Get some patches, cleaning solution, gun oil, and a bottle of Windex for now. Use the windex to swab the barrel between shots. Or you can mix, 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and car windshield washer fluid and use that as a swab solution. You will also need some breech plug grease. Auto Anti Seize also works as breech plug grease as does Slick 50 One grease. Also found at Wal Mart.

Be sure to clean the rifle well before shooting. Make sure the breech plug is greased. Finger tight only on the breech plug. No not crank on that thing. Swab the barrel with some dry patches and then pop a couple primers through the breech plug before loading. This will blow clean the breech plug. Then start with 80 grains of powder and the projectile of your choice. After you shoot, swab the barrel with a slightly damp patch with the windex working that is short strokes. Work slowly down to the breech and then back to the top. Flip that over and do it all again. Now swab the barrel with a couple dry patches. When you have the barrel swabbed and dried, load again as normal.

Have fun with the rifle, and keep us posted as to how it shoots for you.
