RE: Brand new muzzleloader hunter. OMEGA ? NEED HELP !

RE: CVA Hunterbolt or Firebolt?

If I were choosing between 45 and 50 I would go with the 50. I say this even though as my name implies, I shoot a 45cal Hawken. There are just so many more bullet choices with the 50. If you ever...

RE: Twist Rate Question

Without looking it up to be sure, I believe the 50cal knights have 1-28. I think the 45cal has a faster twist , possibly 1-20 or 1-24

RE: Davide Pedersoli rifle

Since it is a 50, the advice I gave you about bullet weight will only aply if you try shooting sabots with 45cal pistol bullets. Recoil will vary with your charge and bullet weight. Round balls won't...

RE: Davide Pedersoli rifle

If I read the info correctly that was linked to this rifle it is 45cal. If that is the case I would guess that the 290gr bullets are a little longer than your rifle will like. From my experience,...
