CVA optima is on the way. Leaning towards the loose powder rather than pellets. Is this a good idea?

I like the BH209 and I prefer the loose powder. I've never had good luck with the pellets as far as accuracy goes.

My advice, shoot BH 209 and quit even wondering about anything else.

BH209 is the way to go.

Blackhorn powder is the best, period. I shoot it in my accura v2, sub 1-inch groups at 100 yds. with 90 grains and Hornady 240 grain XTP. Deadly combination!!

You get very little smoke on the shot. Nothing like the others

Still waiting on CVA to send the bh209 breech plug. Shot the triple 7 pellets (100 gr) yesterday and the recoil was minimal. Lots of smoke and barrel needed cleaning every shot. Can't wait to run the bh209 through it.

How much bh209 are you shooting and what bullet?

make sure youre shooting by volume and not by weight. Meaning don't throw 150 grains by weight of BH209 down that tube cause itll rip the shoulder off

Same here, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to clean my gun.

With the BH-209 and the ease of cleaning buy Rem 700 ultimate and forget that smokeless muzzle loader. Remington has hit a home run with the new Remington 700. Although still I like my Smokeless Muzzle Loader too

A friend of mine swears by it. He used a drill press with a #32 bit on the breech plug. Uses 120 grains without issues.

After waiting for weeks, still no breech plug in the mail so I drove to Duluth and picked it up yesterday. Now I need the rain to stop. I'll put it on the bench as soon as weather permits.

sweet. Also dont forget that you need to use regular primers, not those made for 777.

I have regular shotgun 209 primers. CCI and Fiocchi to be exact. I'm about to start working a load up for it
