Chefmark, I own a CVA muzzleloader, it's a Magbolt. It's sold through BassPro. Anyhow, if your going to buy a ML, I would highly recommened shooting POWERBELTS!! I have been shooting for many years, and have found the PB's to be the best. You don't have plastic fouling in the barrel, and the bullet is very ,very accurate. Every bullet I have shot at big game, has done the damage. A word of advice, get yourself a good scope. Don't buy a cheap scope, or a scope that is for muzzleloders. Buy a good to excellent rifle scope. I bought a scope for muzzleloaders, and it couldn't hold zero. Anyway, good luck!!

PS: Also use Triple 7 powder. Easy to clean, consistant pattern!!!!!
