I just ordered a new CVA Optima V2 SS and was wondering what powder I should get.
Give Black MZ a try. Been using Black MZ almost exclusively since it hit the market. Stuff is more powerful than Pyrodex and is very clean.
Yeah, it ain't the most powerful powder on the market but at $9.99 per one pound bottle you can afford to use more if power is your thing.
Also what would be a Good bullet to Shoot for Bear and Deer.
Try the Hornady 300 grain .452 XTP magnum bullet in the black crush rib sabot. If the crush rib is too loose go to the black smooth sabot. The price won't break the bank and that bullet is just as effective as bullets costing much more.
Good luck with your muzzleloader experience.
