Great bucks!

Well I don't have a great scale, so I weighed my self on the bathroom digital scale with and with out the rifle. Looks like I am around 6 pounds 3 ounces for the rifle. I need to go pick up some Talley rings so i can mount up the Vortex Viper 6-20X44.

Nice job

Looks awesome!!! Might go shoot it this weekend if time allows. I do have to give Steve Crooks a big THANKS for all the work he put into this difficult project. He has a lot of hours tied up in the rifle trying to figure out the 7mm WSM on a Remington short action with the PTG Mag system. There was alot of milling effort involved for clearances, and milling means a lot of extra labor. Lucky for me Steve took this project on knowing he was going to have to spend some time researching on how to accomplish this shortly after dropping the gun off. Sorry guys if your tired of my postings on this, but it has been a fun project. In this pic below you can see how much was needed to be milled out so the shell would eject.

Way awesome!!! Great job on DIY, very impressive

Nice job!

Great job on your first Mule Deer buck!!! Very Nice, Enjoyed the story.

Well Its getting close, the smith has it all put together and now it is getting bedded. Pretty Excited, should be ready to shoot Saturday hopefully! Thanks Kooter for the pic

I bet hes measures out pretty good in his width? Nice job

Let me know if you need any help loading, be more than willing to help out when time allows.

Awesome buck!!!! Congrats

Im surprised you dont reload with all those nice rifles you have!

Wowzers!!! That thug is huge!

Right on! Thanks guys! 22 HAM hunt

I just inherited a CVA Traditional Muzzle loader for my HAM Javilina hunt in February. Unfortunately I know nothing about them, but I am excited to go out and shoot it. 1. It says Connecticut Valley Arms .50 cal, so as I googled it CVA came up. How do I know how old this gun is? 2. Wife’s Grandpa won it at a school auction back in the day and doesn't know anything about it either. I think that’s why he gave it to me. 3. I only have the gun, no supplies with it. 4. Where can I buy Black Powder? I know that Pyrodex is easier to find, but would rather shoot the Black Powder. 5. How do I know what size bullet should I buy? I know it’s a .50cal but i have heard there are different size bullets for the .50cal. 6. What size patches do I need to buy? 7. Does anyone have extra supplies they would be willing to sell? 8. It uses primers, not a flint lock. What size primers do i need to buy?

Awesome!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!!

Thanks sundevil, appreciate you posting the manual. I plan on shooting the round balls, looks like it shoots the .490 ones. Looks like i need to head over to bass pro or cabelas for the kit.
