I'll start off by saying - I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. So first things first..Hi everybody!!!

Anyway i am somewhat new to black powder shooting. I got hooked because i borrowed my cousin's TC Black Diamond XR one day, first shot with a muzzle loader ever, I sat my Mountain Dew can down and walked what i'm guessing... Honestly 125 yards away. At least 100 yards away i know for sure. I was using pyrodex, 100 grains, and a .50 round ball lol not a sabot or anything fancy. I aimed at that can with sights and busted that can.

So just recently i got a hold of a CVA Optima Elite .50, SS fluted barrel, thumb-hole and all that. Kwik-Sight raised mounts and a Bushnell Sportsman scope. (that camo scope that's at China-Mart for $70). I have a bunch of pyrodex pellets which i hear suck and you can't be accurate with lol i wont be using those later.. I bought alot of cheap sabots and pyro-pellets and 777pellets just to shoot around and get a feel for shooting and cleaning.

ANYWHOO, to the question.. What have you guys found to be accurate out of this gun?
I'm really liking this Blackhorn 209 powder i've been reading about. I'll probably get that eventually. What about ammo though?

Also, side question, what is better accessories and cleaning stuff? CVA or TC stuff.

Thanks everyone
