A couple years back a friend of mine asked me to help her son figure out how to safely shoot a muzzleloader she bought him. So I agreed of course. It turned out she bought him a Beartooth Magnum which is made by New Frontier, a.k.a. BPI, the same people that make CVA. Well it was nothing more then a Wolf in Beartooth clothing. She had bought him some Triple Se7en powder and Winchester primers, and some 245 grain powerbelts and some 240 grain XTP's on my suggestion.

We discovered right out of the box, 80 grains of Triple Se7en 2f and a 240 grain XTP was shooting perfect. At 25 yards the boy shot a very impressive group. We then tried the powerbelts with the same charge, and that rifle stacked them. At fifty years it shot a more then acceptable group, and since that is about as far as you can see in the thickets up here, he was happy.. and out of powerbelts I might add.

That season he said a doe walked out at 30 yards, he aimed behind the front shoulder, fired, and she never took a step...
