This article is intended as a supplement to the Owner’s Manual that came with your CVA muzzleloader. The information in this article explains the use of the new CVA Northwest Breechplug that is not covered in the Owner’s Manual. All other information in the Owner’s Manual, with special emphasis on the Safety Information, is critical to the operation of your muzzleloader and must be adhered to carefully.
Here is some useful information that should help you begin the process of finding the right load for your pistol.
Loading a muzzleloader, black powder pistol or black powder rifle is a relatively simple process. The first step is to gather the necessary components, and these will vary depending on style of gun and projectile type. These could include the gun, powder or pellets, projectile, patch, cap, powder measure, bullet lubricant, ramrod, and (short) bullet starter.
Blackhorn™ 209 and CVA™ have teamed up to provide you with a breech plug that is designed to allow CVA muzzleloaders to use Blackhorn 209 powder more efficiently.
There are many reasons why muzzle loading is rapidly becoming a popular sport. With less regulations, longer seasons, and more exciting hunting challenges, muzzle loading offers us more time to get out and enjoy what we love to do.
