Muzzleloader accuracy tips Part 5 The Load we are using 

2 white hots and hornady eldx winchester primer shot great groups out of my cva

This series is so so so helpful, thank you very much!

Good information. Appreciate you sharing your experiences.

Blackhorn 209, Hornady SST and CCI Magnum primer is an amazing combination! Very accurate and the Blackhorn is super easy to clean. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for the information great video

Im going to try the hornady sst this season for the first time,ive been using pyrodex 100 grain with cheaper sabots for the last 4 or 5 seasons and i have missed so many deer or just not found them because of no blood or minimal blood trail..I shoot a cva wolf and use the iron sights on it.Its a shame they sell us so much junk out here to use but im very thankful that other hunters like u guys will do these videos after research and share them with us..Just want u to know how thankful i am to u guys for the shared knowledge u share with us thats helps improve our hunting skills with us..Keep up the great work u do and hope u has the best of luck this season brother..

Excellent. Appreciate the info.

Great info! Thanks

I agree , listening to what goes on with other muzzleloading shooters let's me know that I am going in the right direction

Did you mention the grains on that saboted bullet?

The load I love and shoot is ..250 gr barnes TEZ ...100 gr 777 pellets....777 primers...the load just works together very nicely.

I shot a 7 or the other day with 2 white hots with a ftx bore driver 290 grain the deer was 30 years and the bullet dint even go all the way there the deer

Just and FYI, try shooting three pellets, 150 grains and see if it doesn't tighten up your groups a bunch. Yes, recoil is sort of brutal on the bench but you're going to shoot one shot in the field usually and when that big buck is in front of you, you're not going to notice that recoil hardly at all. I've watched many videos now where that hotter load did wonders for groups, even with bullets that didn't shoot well at all with a 100-grain load behind them.

I had nothing but problem with powerboats here is my load I finally found that shoots very well out of 4 of my inclines blackhorn 209 80grains by weight 250 grain Barnes expander bullet riding in a harvester crushrib sabot and a cci magnum primer and if you do your part a good butcher this load is primo

Give Blackhorn 209 powder. a try I know it's not as convenient but I promise you it will change the way you think about muzzle loader performance. You can shoot 20 or more shot's without cleaning and when you do clean it's super simple. Also good call on switching from the powerbelts,

I shout pyrodex powder and Thompson bullets. Powder is stinky but have had very consistent shooting. Shot my deer running at 50 yards and that was the 5th shot without cleaning.

I am currently running 85grs of Triple Seven FFFg powder, a Barnes 290gr T-EZ sabot, and Federal 209 primer out of my CVA Accura PR. Not a blistering fast combo but will knock the snot out of a deer at my normal ranges (under 100yds). I sighted in at 75yds and am getting about 1.25” groups. It is also fairly easy on the shoulder. I am sure I can tweak it to shoot a little tighter group but it works good enough.

Meant to say Hodgdon's New Fire Star Triple 7 pellets! Not Starters.

We had the same problem as you the power belt bullets and pellets wouldn't group. We went to hornady sst 250 grain bullets and loose powder and are shooting 2 inch groups at 100 yards. We normally don't shoot at any longer distances because of the terrain. Great past throughs and easy recoveries. Really enjoy your VIDEO. Very interesting.

Hornady SST-ML Bullets and Powerbelt Bullets are different as day and night. I've always believed in Powerbelt until l started hunting with them. There is no blood trail at all and the deer runs 50 are more yards. Hornady SST-ML is a massive blood trail and maybe only 20yrds. And they shoot a tighter group.

Using white hots and hornady 240 gr. Xtp 44 cal out of cva optima having good group. About 2 inch with a tripod. Using green low drag sabot. I bought a box of hornady for pistol and sabot's separately saved money.

Hey Jarvis! I am convinced that you're a nice guy by the way you handle the less than positive comments from people! Keep up the good instructional videos! My story is that I am nearly 68 yrs old and live in West Ky and have drawn an LBL (Land Between The Lakes in West Ky) Muzzleloader quota hunt this coming Nov. '21. All of my things are OLD including a...1999 CVA Hunterbolt 50 cal ML, 15 yr old Pyrodex RS loose powder, and 15 yr old #11 CCI percussion caps! I have not shot this ML in nearly 15 yrs and a gunsmith had to remove a sabot/bullet and three 30 gr pellets that I was too afraid to remove but were NOT STUCK! I had left these loaded in the rifle...yeah I am a DUMBASS! Yesterday I shot a 3/4" 2 shot group @ 100 yds. from solid sand bands on a solid table w/ a cheap Bushnell Banner scope 3-9x40 that I recently mounted! I raised the horizontal reticle 12 clicks to achieve 3" higher impact point and hit dead on the elevation and 2" to the left with only one shot. Load was the aforementioned 90 grains Pyrodex RS/CCI #11 standard caps, and Hornady 180gr /44 cal hollow point bullet XLT's in the 50 cal Hornady green #6750 sabot. I agree with your recommendation to swap after each shot, and I use 3 patches flippin them once using plain water being wrung out (damp not wet), then a dry patch and then firing one cap before loading the powder. Loose powder and Hornady bullets is my ticket and I don't shoot that much so pellets are not beneficial for me! Happy Hunting folks! You have to spend the time and money to get superior results!

Try loose powder!! I have a CVA Optima V2 50 cal LR nitride rifle. It came with a Konus 3x9x40 muzzleloader scope. I got mine shooting under 3/4 inch group at 100. With 84grs of blackhorn by weight. A hornady 250gr sst bullet. This season i upgraded scopes. Leupold ultimate slam ML 3x9x40mm scope. And going to try the hornady 290gr bore driver bullets. I carry my ML during modern rifle season. I killed 5 deer with it last yr. All 5 dropped in there tracks.I would keep trying to get it 1 inch or less.

I've never even seen a box of White-Hot pellets where I live but the T-7 Firestar pellets are everywhere, and I like them three of them being 33 grain pellets and a little stronger than most other pellets is a hundred grain equivalent load. With the SST's it's a very accurate combination in all three of my CVA's. I'd like to try the Blackhorn 209 but again, have never seen a can of it here and the price of it is just stupid high right now. If the price were to come back down to earth I'd sure try it though. I did buy the 209 breech plug just in case I do run into some one of these days.

Blackhorn powder and Barnes tmz's give me all touching at 100 yards. When you load pellets I've seen test that if you crush them accuracy can suffer. Preloads load in the field just as fast as pellets so not worth the trouble to me, plus you can adjust your load easily with loose powder. Sst's are an accurate bullet as well they just leave a small hole and little blood for me. Still work though.

Frederick 209 primers they are the most consistent and hot hottest primers out there

I’ve had great luck with 2 different rifles using 90 gr of loose pyrodex or 777 and SST will shoot 1-1/2” groups at 100 yards. The pellets get me 3” groups.

I’ve shot about every flavor of power belts, accuracy was always crap

I have round ball guns I have night rifles CVA Thompson they all shoot 58 years old I've been shooting for 50 years every rifle is different

In my cva 50 cal lr I am getting 3"groups with 110 grains 777 (2-30 g/1-50g) 295 g bullet( new hornady non sabot) at 60 yds

I have a CVA Optima V2 LR 50 cal. 2 777 pellets a 300 grain Hornady American Whitetail CCI primers and at 100 yards shooting a 1/2or better group and at 250 yards shooting a 1inch group!!!

I shoot the exact same load, white hots, Hornady SST ,w -209s,complete pass throughs on large northern whitetails,w/150 gr, and no pass throughs w/100gr ,150gr drop in their tracks,100gr run up to 100yds , good luck 🤞

Good video Jarvis, but what is your preferred loading? 100 Gr or 150 (magnum), and I've found that White Hots are great, easier to clean an can be fired more frequently without swabbing the barrel between shots, but I'm liking the new Triple 7 Fire Starters.

Can't find a load to make mine happy,. I am using blackhorn 70 grain by weight and power belt.

Went away from power belt bullets and started use loose powder results have been amazing

have you ever used the remington sts 209 primers with the white hots and if so how did you like them?

Any convenience obtained by the pellets is negated by the loss of accuracy. BlackHorn 209 is the best propellant on the market for front stuffers. Watch any other video where people chrono the loads. Standard deviation is always the lowest on BlackHorn, even less deviation than loose 777. Plus you don't have to swab between shots. I've shot 10+ times on the range without swabbing. You can reload and fire again fast enough to open up the group from barrel heating. BlackHorn 209 must be used with a full power primer, I use W209, but I've heard people get consistent result from the Federal 209A as well. As far as projectiles, I've personally used Hornady SSTs and Barnes Spitfire TMZ. They're the only 2 ML bullets I'll use. Consistent results, even at 200yds they expand.

try useing 3 pellets

What muzzleloader you shooting? Try bumping your powder charge to 150gr of IMR. Most all the modern muzzleloaders will shoot MOA or better without the need to go lose powder. 209 is awesome powder and will provide the most accuracy but it is hard to find and not very convenient.

Are the SST-ML 250 grain or 300 grain? Recommendations with loose powder? All i can get rn is trip 7 (no blackhorn). Also no primers so cant even shoot

Looking for a load for my cva accura v2. Keep reading about hornady xtp and green harvester do you know that combination will work?

I wish ya’ll would leave that Blackhorn shit out of these pellet discussions until they evolve enough to make a pellet.The reason we like pellets is for the convienience.I know with pellets I am getting it all in the barrel and not half of it on the ground. We are just trying to figure the best PELLET not the best propellant.Please, keep the loose stuff out of the pellet discussions. SHOOT SAFE!!!!!!!

Pellets and Powerbelts are junk your late to the party.Then you switch to the SST and WH pellets you obviously learned nothing
