I recently acquired a CVA Express double barrel side by side .50 cal percussion muzzle loader. It has been many years since i hunted with a front stuffer. Will this gun handle the newer powders? In percussions have you guys had better luck with 777 or pyrodex? Also, i would like to possibly switch to a different nipple style, should i go go with musket siza?

Thanks, for the info. I'd like one of the Pedersoli doubles but I don't want to have to sell a kidney for one. I got this CVA for practically nothing. I've always had a fascination with doubles, looking forward to hunting with it.

If you have an interest in double rifles, you need to bring your rifle to Friendship next year. ML shot one afternoon, BL the next afternoon.
Good luck hunting, keep us posted.
