Muzzleloader questions

[crazyice]

Does anyone here shoot an older CVA Muzzleloader model SMA 7060-VP?? I think it's called a Pro II In-line... If so, does it take the 209 primers? If not, how easy are they to work with? I have access to one, and want to know if it's worth the hassle to work with, or if I should just go with newer technology... Thanks!

I got it figured out, I am using the #11 caps with Pyrodex pellets, the ones that aren't Triple 7, they seem to fire up just fine with that cap, so I figure since that works on the range, it will work just fine in the field.

I used to run the same set up on a traditions smokepole and the range was awsome but the feild is way differnt. because there are so many variables to deal with and weather is the biggest one of all.

I have shot deer with those pellets and #11's also you should be able to find a coversion 209 primer kit as well.

Dont get to discouraged if you pull the trigger and you dont hear the pop of the percusion cap go off. I had this happen a couple of times. try and recock the gun and pull the trigger again or switch out the cap. I tried both but both times the deer were just faster than I was. so I switched to a 209 primmer and then on one outting I pulled the trigger and heard the pop of the 209 and not the powder it had gotten wet when snow went down the barrel. I was able to change out the load and shoot at the deer about a half hour later and then it was success. another thing is to keep the flash hole very clean for the #11 cap

Good luck crazyice
