Deer Hunting with Walmart's Cheapest 50 CAL! 

Banger!

As a European I'm baffled they sell guns just on shelves. And I'm freaking Jealous.

Hunting tip. You have to clean the barrel after 2 to 3 shots. If you can every time you shoot, especially sighting it in.

CVA builds a good muzzleloader. Great video. I love how you persevere with wisdom and humor!

I used the 223gr power-belts for a few years. Never had a problem, but when I couldn't find them one year I used a T&C or Hornady 240gr (.44 cal) seated in a sabot. Never went back to the power-belt. The T&C and Hornady absolutely put the smack down on any deer. I purchased my "cheap" muzzleloader back in 2005 for around $100 - CVA staghorn, buckhorn, something like that. Has the spring and bolt. I've killed more deer with that gun than all my other modern rifles and bow combined - mostly because I use it primarily during the PA antlerless week. Thanks for posting this! Glad to see you getting it done - Merry Christmas!

This is what I really like about America! Thanks for the interesting video, greetings from Central Europe.

I appreciate you showing the missed shot, not everything goes as planned. Looks like you have a nice spot and lots of deer to see

First of your videos that I've seen, but definitely good stuff. You've got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!

Traditions Buckstalker is a solid rifle. 2/2 with it, and cleans very easily.

I have had a few CVA Wolfs.. they are very accurate and love how short and light waight they are... taken a few deer with the Wolf..

Powerbelts are terrible with blood trails I'd recommend hornady xtps or Barnes

Black powder in my experience sometimes does not leave massive blood trails like you would imagine even though you're shooting a 50 cal. bullet.

Your videos are highly enjoyable bro 👌. See ya on the next one!

Correct me if I'm wrong, if you lower the rear sight you raise the blade sight on end of barrel. To bring front down you need to push rear sight up. My rear sight on my flintlock is in middle of the ramp. I'm 1inch high at 50 yards. Anyway nice video. Do enjoy your videos.

I don’t use that powerbelt however I use most a powerbelt elr 330 grain with a magnum charge of black horn 209. Furthest I have had a deer run was 30 yards but had a massive blood trail

WOW! You found a walmart that answers there phone! lol

Ok, today I learned about the existence of modern muzzleloaders. Therefore, you can OWN A MUSKET FO-

Love my cva wolf, been hunting with it for probably 10 years now, awesome muzzleloader and it a tack driver

That deer heard that hammer . Crazy !

You should try using federal premium borlock their 270. Grain shot my deer at about 30 yards double lung ran 30 yards went clean through very accurate overall just a better sabot

Nicely done video, I have the same gun and was able to zero the sights at 50y, but got the scope mount and put a 2x7 on it. I took a sow with it this season. I love the Wolf but id most likely get the Optima if I had a do over. I always use 245 powerbelts with 100grs pellets; its a tack driver out to 100y.

Somewhere in that bush a squirrel has a nice comfy nest packed with foam from your seat lol.

My 50 cal also jumps which is a huge turn off. It's fine in the LedSled at the range, but in the field it's another story. I ended up buying a CVA LR-X in 45 cal and it is a literal tack driver compared to the 50. In fact, I got my very first buck in nearly 25 years of hunting with it last season. I don't usually chase bucks as I'm a meat hunter, but this one came in unexpectedly. I don't know that I'll hunt with the 50 anymore.

Awesome video great determination u got done👍

My CVA hated powerbelt bullets but it shot Hornady FPB 350's touching at 200 yards with 10" of drop

Reminds me yesterday went to the range to shoot the 30-30 for a little bit. Had everything set up was ready to fire so I did so and was like "that was louder than normal". Then I just laughed to myself as I forgot to put my ear pro in when getting ready.

I have the Buckstalker and I Love it! I put a scope on mine because my old eyes ain’t what they used to be! If you put a scope on yours you’ll wanna get a hammer lock that screws into the side of the hammer for easy cocking with the scope on it! Merry Christmas and God Bless from Caldwell Ohio!

I love your vids man keep it up

Same problem with the same wolf. Shoots high. I bury the front sight in the cutout of the back sight. Problem now is the firing pin cap that screws out to clean the pin had a burr on it and won’t screw back in. I’m trying to contact CVA BPI. Website says customer service is down until Jan 9. 😢

Great video and congrats on the doe

I forgot my Summit climber in the woods and the daggone squirrels ate the seat off of it too and those seats are like $80 bucks......... dang

Tip: my grandpa always said if you can hit a paper plate at a 100 yards it’ll kill a deer

What was your powder load? one of the things that can lead to too high a shot is too much powder and to light a round

I use a Remington Genesis. Same type of cheap. I shot a buck and aimed low it also hit high. We are not allowed to use scopes on primitive weapons where I live. If I could put a scope on it would be quite accurate. That big old 50 cal bullet knocks the crap out of them for sure. Make sure you clean it well. These black powders corrode badly. If you clean it and it sits for a long period like months, then you might want to take it out and clean it again. You don't have the rolling block like I do, but the corrosion will make things stick in place.

Great video. I was in the edge of my seat hoping you got her

CVA Kodiak Magnum .45cal, Cabela’s scope, bullets, pellets, primers cleaning kit, already zeroed, bought it second hand for $200. Got my first buck with it last season at 60yds. My brother has a $2k T/C pro hunter set up, missed.

As an aussie. That was nice. Good job finding that deer!

For I guess over 30 years I've use mostly. cva muzzle loaders. they put meat on my table and outher tables also. I don't remember how many cva bobcat 50 cal I've owned and gave as gifts. my main load for all these years is 80gr to 100gr pyrodex with a green saboted hornady 44 xtp 180 gr. this was a most devastating bullet at these speeds in the vital area. I also used sierra 44 jhc 180 grwhich were more devastating. Especially neck bone shots. I don't recommend using the sierra on front neck shots if planning to mount the deer at times let's say extensive damage. as devastating at 100yd as in front of you. I've tested all kinds of loads but I always go with the xtp jhp.papa wishing you. 😊

Where is the link you said would be in the description?

You got so many deer in your area me and my uncle go hunting

...right there.... ...right here... ...down there.... ...down here.... 😂

I could never get my wolf to shoot accurate with power belt bullets. I changed to TC super glides and it made all the difference

That’s what I’ve used 3 years in a row with the cva wolf and 295 lead drops them

I don't know and I haven't hunted with a muzzleloader in years but it seems like that was a pretty hot load for that gun and I yeah great Job

I've got the same gun with the scope mount. Tack driver!!!

The hornady SST 250g shoots even better than the power belt out of mine and I have the same cva and love it

I bought my dad the same gun except with a scope he loves it

I go with 150 gr for those reach out and touch shots

Awesome video best on the tube

Awesome… thanks buddy..

That’s a decent muzzloader for the price it’s the equivalent to a ruger American or a savage axis I would say for the bullets the best are federal and if your looking for a quality muzzleloader get the traditions nitrofire

You can’t use a light for frog hunting in pa. Perhaps it’s in another state though. Good luck this season.

Congrats 😀

My cva wolf shoots sub 2 inch groups at 100 yards with 240 gr xtp. Very good budget muzzloader

Looks like it's already tapped for optics. Maybe buy a decent fixed 3x9 scope and then you can adjust better for range/windage.

Bro is a legend at hunting

Awesome video.love muzelloader

"Walmarts cheapest 50. CAL" - thats whole 'merice in 4 words

Whats a spike, please?

Use white hots as powder way easier to clean

Cool vid and gun! If I didn't live in Europe I think i would prefer such a gun over an AR-15 for example. Is this muzzle loader smooth bore or rifled?

@09:54 Never a time, when some necessary required hunting related item has not been forgotten! Such as hearing protection. Have yet to forget ammunition.

Zoomed in trying to see the shot but lost it in the cloud of smoke🤣

That cheap CVA is much more modern than the muzzleloader I hunt with!

It's easier to clean the ash from cotton patch out of the boor then plastic.

You have to clean the Barrel. Often!

nice work

you could file the front site down if you max out the rear one

LOL. That is why they call them smoke poles.

Move the rear sight in the direction you want your bullet to go. Moving it up will raise your point of impact.

That turkey to hit it, just move the target to the place the previous bullets. Hit. Guranrun tea. From a ol flintlocker.

Great video enjoyed watching I had to put a scope on my girlfriends CVA Wolf Because it shot so high just like yours Glad you were able to get one with it

at 50 yards you should be 2 inches high , at 100 you'd be right on . I have that same smoke pole

Great video what state do you hunt in??

Need to clean out the barrel after couple shots if you don’t your bullets will be all over from where you were aiming. And you need a ground blind so you can sit closer to the game and they can’t hear you working the safety and movement and should wear rubber boots

It must be nice to pull over and not having to worry about someone stealing your shit

Black powder barely ever leaves blood, especially those powerbelt bullets. Hornady sst or Barnes expanders give the best result in my opinion, hitting shoulder is important if the shot is available. Also you should have got a jag with your muzzleloader, buy some wet black powder patches and at the range run one back and forth on the jag every shot (u can get away with every 2-3) it will make it more consistent and easier to load.

I was having horrible issues with getting this rifle sighted in. After a ton of swapping rings and remounting scopes. I found a review with my same issues. I shoot the white hots and hornady sabots. After 2 shots my 3rd was 6-8 away every time. I did as the review and cleaned after every shot really good. My rifle 100 grain powder and 250 grain hornady sabots shoots hole for hole with a vortex scope.

What state are you in? Here in TX we can't find muzzleloaders at Walmart.

Where’s the unlisted?

Cva has great triggers

What state are you hunting ?

Cva own bergera barrels. Awesome guns. I want you to use the that really cheap one🤣 you shouldn’t drive fire these also.

Where’s the unlisted video?

Inline Muzzleloaders rifle's are completely different then Traditional flint lock Muzzleloaders same goes for Percussion Muzzleloaders Just don't take that Inline out during Traditional muzzleloader season here in PA that's A big No No as attempting it might be October inline season only or Regular Rifle season

What state is he in?

I don’t know if price and retailer of certain guns really matters. If you think about it, guns are nothing more than a metal tube with a spring and a firing pin. The technology has been basically perfected for 100 years. BP guns are even simpler and usually much cheaper than modern guns. All of that is to say I don’t think it’s necessarily a given that a “cheap gun from Walmart” would be terrible. It really depends on the manufacturer and specific model more than anything else.

Hunting tip always dry fire your gun with a primer in it

Not worried about the freezer but the all film. RU-vid hunter.

Scope time!

What state are you in? I haven't seen a single Walmart that sells firearms down here in Florida

I bought one of those kit's from Walmart and I swear it was the worst gun I ever shot!!! I tried every conceivable load you can think of to shoot through that gun. I ended up using the gun during the muzzloader season that year because it was all I had. Anyway I grunt called a 8 point huge buck in from the ground still hunting and I had that buck in a crazed rut bulging eye's frenzy at 10 feet from me aimed the gun at his chest squeezed the trigger and the gun went off and the buck just simply kept walking like nothing happened!!! Somehow I had missed it!!! I took the gun home and reloaded it fired it at a target same distance and it was shooting 3 feet high. I tried again and dead bullseye, tried again and 3 feet high absolutely no consistency at all. Only thing I can think of was the barrel wasn't what they claimed it was and the slugs were just like bouncing down the barrel. I did notice that it was always very easy to load even after multiple shots and yes I was using the correct size sabots for the gun...I ended up using my chopsaw in the shop on it and that solved my problem with that pos for good!!! Lol...true story!

Bro the legendary kendall gray commented on your video your super lucky

Cheap??.... That's a real nice gun!

Try to position yourself where the sun isn't blinding you. You're in the position you want your deer to be in

Where are you from / Hunting?

An artist doesn't need the most expensive paint brush! Old japanese saying.

I gave you a like for the "Don't try this at home" LMAO Powerbelts??? No, no, no blood.... Use something else. I like Hornady SSTs (250 grains) or the "Hornady XTP Bullets 50 Caliber Sabot with 44 Caliber 240 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point" which I have been using the past two seasons... You get blood with those XTPs!

I use three powder plugs. 150
