After about 40 years, I’m gonna lay aside my TC Renegade, and go with an in-line. Mainly because my eyes make it really hard to shoot irons anymore. I ordered a CVA Wolf this morning. What are some good bullets to use in it. I shot sabots out of my Renegade for a long time, will they work just as well in the Wolf? I don’t think I’m interested in Power Belts, I’ve read some stuff about them not performing well. Y’all got some suggestions?

I have shot sabots out of mine with good results. I use tc 230grain hollow points. they shoot accurate and kill well usually right in their tracks.

Barnes T-EZ 250grn saboted bullet with two 50 grn White Hot Pellets has shot very tight groups at 100yds with my CVA Wolf. Shot through 2' of wild hog on a steep quartering away shot and the bullet still went completely through the offside front leg bone upon exit. Great Bullets!

I had great luck with the Powerbelt Aerotip 245 grain bullet, extremely accurate and have shot at 10 animals with 10 harvests over the years. Only issue I have is that is generally little blood trail, however most harvests are within 50 steps. with most DRT. They are the most accurate shooting in my CVA and TC ML's.
My buddy has killed a freight train full with a Wolf and the 350-grain TC maxi-hunters. They are a bad bullet. Solid lead, bore diameter. Hammer of Thor. Load easily, too. I've used them a good bit in caplocks, too, and killed a pile of deer with them. I think black powder and solid lead is a match made in heaven.

100%!
I used about the same thing when I done it. I also used just a 80 grain charge. Big slow bullet knocked them down.

I use the power belt led 270 with 80 grains of powder — I have yet found the bullet?
Thanks for the replies, guys. I’m gonna use the SST’s, the gun really likes them, I’ll see about expansion on 10/11, I hope.

The .45 caliber sabot 250 TC shock waves or the 250 SSTs both work well in my Wolf, I think they are the same. Two 50gr 777 pellets give good accuracy also. I just moved to BH209 in mine and get a good accuracy with a lot more velocity. Seems like it is 110 grains by volume and maybe 77 by weight.

Barnes T-EZ 250grn out of my Wolf. It's accurate enough for deer. I can keep 2" groups at 100. For a being a cheaper rifle I haven't had any complaints.

Hornady SST red sabot, 250 grain I think. Mine groups better with pyrodex pellets than 777 although they say they are the same. Two or three 50 grain pellets have the same point of impact at 100 yards out of my cva.
