I almost bought this same smoke pole last year. My old Hawken 50 cal kit me and dad built together in the mid 80s. Just the memories of hunting and building the bing bang with my dad makes it so hard to stop using it. But a in-line would sure be easier to use on rainy days and much easier to clean. The good ole muzzle loaders have come so far in last few years from the old round balls I started with. Thanks again WTW hunting crew for sharing your adventures, tools and love of the outdoors with us all. 🦌🎥💪🏽💯👍🙏🏻
Great review of the Powerbelt's. I'm 60 yrs old and just started BP hunting. I bought a used TC Omega Z5 from my bosses son 2 yrs ago. Scoped it. and bore sighted. Did some research online and really liked the what the powerbelt lined offered. I chose the the 250 grain Aerolite as my first round. First shot 60 yrds was 5" right and 1" low . TWO quick adjustment's from second round and on been punching or touching center at 60 ever since. Now I just need the brown ones to cooperate. I am in NY and have a very limited season which sucks. Love the Aerolite 250gr.
Cva just makes great guns!! Bought a .45 paramount last year absolute tack driver love the elr power belts!! 105 or 98 grains by weight of black horn shoots amazing great upload
Both of the bullets always worked great in CVA wolf. And my Tompson center muzzle loader. I found out that the magnum primer for my muzzle loader seam better than the standard primer. With 100 grain of powder. Good video.
I have the CVA Optima, love it. Hit s 6 point at 165 yards on the run!
My buddy could not believe it would reach out that way.
Surprise the crap out of him. I was using the Green tip in your video and they work great! Hope you have a great hunt this season...
Oh dude whoteewho here was shooting the CVA Paramount and drilling steel at 600 yards and he was shooting it great hitting the steel dead center!!! You should check the video out, CVA Paramount .40 at 500 and 600 yards!!! Whotee can shoot!!
I've been thinking about getting a breechloader for quite a while now. I think I'm all center-fired out. Rimfires, I have alotta practice with, so I need to step my game up with black powder. (I need experience). I can't wait to see your rendition. God bless.
I’ve got the same little gun and it’s a tack driver for me with 100 grains by volume of Black Horn 209 under a saboted Hornady 250 g 45 cal. copper MonoFlex ML. I’ve found the Power Belts to be quite accurate and easy to load. I’m also fine with full size bullets for the woods we hunt. My limited experience with them, though, mirrors a lot of other folks. They’re known to expand too rapidly, not providing an exit wound. And when all the smoke clears on a cold, still frosty morning, you want a blood trail if the deer isn’t dead right there. Some of the heavier Power Belts, like 350 g or so, have a better reputation for making an exit wound.
I tried the power belts my wolf shot them ok 2 in group. Picked up some 240 grain sabots half inch group at a hundred. Have taken deer out to 225 yards.
Great video! I haven't been into muzzle loading for years, but I don't think they had break opens like that. Great idea! Must especially be easier to clean
Ive had 2 cva wolfs. One like yours and a stainless one. The stainless cleans up a lot easier it seems. Both have liked the the tc shock wave bullets best so far.
Great job dude love your cva thanks for the info on what ammo to get
Been shooting black powder reproductions for years, but I bought a CVA Wolf last year when I first got into hunting. I gotta say that it's the easiest black powder gun I own to clean. Really accurate for the distances I need to shoot too. And light-weight, so very easy to carry into the woods. Very impressed with it. I'm sure there are better muzzle loaders out there, but from my hunting experience I really can't find a fault with the Wolf. I might buy a second one just to shorten the barrel and have an SBR that the ATF can't touch. lol
I took a deer at 75 yds during muzzleloader this year. CVA optima w hornady 290gn ftx ballistic tip. It patterns to about 1 MOA with 100gn triple7. Nikon buckmaster 3-9 scope.
Appreciate the insight and share. Got a new CVA Wolf this year and my first pack of 250 gr Aerolites...perfect! Thanks for the advice
Good stuff!
Really nice- wish I could get one!!
Great video buddy love that muzzleloader hunting 👍
Enjoyed the video as always Started out with and going back to the 295 grain hollow point have had great success with that bullet Love the CVA wolves Great little guns for the money
Hey Merlin
Looking forward to this video. Excited to watch here from the Southeast Asia!
Woah!! You’re a long way from us! I would literally be “surviving “ if you dropped me in south east Asia! I’m in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky
I have a CVA Wolf just like yours. I used it to take a nice Kentucky 8 pt. whitetail buck last week. I shoot 250 gr. Hornady SST’s over 2 Pyrodex pellets. I get inch and a half or less groups at 100 yards. I tried it with 3 pellets. In addition to kicking like a full grown mule, it was not as accurate.
I didn't have luck with power belts. Switch to sst and getting 2 inch groups at 100.
Love your videos! Watch them all the time! Think I’ll be picking up a CVA!😊
Appreciate you watching
Both my Knight and Wolf HATE powerbelt. Best load for me by far is a saboted Hornady 300gr xtp on top of 100gr pyrodex pellets.
I'm glad to see your muzzle loader out again! I think you should do a cinder block test with it!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲
I have the same muzzleloader. I use white hots and Hornady sabots. Our muzzleloader season is after rifle season. And we can't use a scope unless it's a fixed one power scope during muzzleloader season. If we use a muzzleloader during rifle season we can use any scope.
the wolf is just an incredible little firearm, in my opinion. less than $300 for a stainless rifle? Awesome!!!
I have a Rossi 50 cal it also came with a 12 ga rifled barrel , never used the 12 ga but the 50 cal is a tac driver
Whoteewho try and look for some #11 percussion caps for my black powder haha, I'm trying to go a little more old school with my set up this year. Great video as always
I like the budget friendly options. Been looking at that Wolf to add another muzzleloader for my son to use. Good luck hunting. IN muzzleloader isn't until December. Brrrrr
Great video. Wish out ML season was earlier. Ours in Michigan is in December after all the early seasons, archery season and rifle season. Makes for a tough hunt.
Interesting gun. Learn more on your channel each time. Modern version of mountain man rifle. Cool. 🙏👍😎
Great stuff! 👍
An interesting test would be to see if the ramrod affects accuracy. I've gotten rid of all of the ramrods on my inlines & just use the CVA collapsable unit.
I have the same CVA Wolf model. Just shot a buck at 102 yds. Loaded with 2 777 pellets and Powerbelt solid copper 245 gr HP. I also like the 250 gr Aero Lite.
Awesome!
Haven’t watched the whole video, but my x a wolf loves the 240gr hornady xtp over two 50gr 777 pellets(777 primer too). Will clover leaf them at 100 if I clean the barrel between each shot.
👍like these muzzle loader videos. Gotta test these new bullets out on ballistics gel, compared to the others.
Cva wolf is a great rifle thanks for the video
I have an old traditions fox river that im a really good shot with im hoping to get a big buck with it because like you said a lot of the deer aren't scared yet but it's old fashioned iron sights and im only good to about 100 yards with a body shot but man is black powder fun
I had one of those I was shocked with how welll. It did with a patch drown ball up to about 50 yd. About one inch groups.
Great gun had one just like that one very accurate
I have the cva v2 optima wish 100gr whitehots and hornady sst with less than a 2 inch group at a 100 yards want to try the bore driver now
Awesome video WTW!🤘🏽🤘🏽
🙏🙏🙏
my thompson center hated every powerbelt that it shot. at 100 was getting 4 inch groups with them and that was the smallest group of 3 shots. but with the thompson center shockwave in 250s it was and inch group. so yeah never had luck with power belts
It must be a tc thing as I had a similar experience. I use the same bullet as u in 200 gr. I used to use the Barnes expander but when I switched to white hot powder they tumbled. The 200s shoot good and I had them leftover from a youth setup. Since nobody else uses the 200s they go on sale for even cheaper. I’ve killed everything I have shot with my muzzleloader and it’s prob my favorite gun.
Crazy that Thompson Centers would like Thompson Center ammo lol
Same with my thompson center, I was about to call it a loss, then tried traditions carnivore and my groups shrank to 1.25 inches at a hundred(3 shot groups). I probably wasted $150.00 on different brands until I tried the carnivores.
I bet if you softened your charge, you would get more accuracy. I shoot literally everything out of cvas, lymans, & pedersolis, & I can make 1 hole groupes @ 60 yds.
Really enjoy the song at the end
My Traditions likes Hornady and my Thompson likes the Thompson boolots. Shot a 8 point last year at 185 yards with my Traditions with a total pass through and he waded up in about ten yards.
Shot the green tip powerbelts for couple years good accuracy shot two deer had absolutely no blood trail, switched to 250gr Hornady sst and have had blood trails a blind man could follow on every deer I have shot with my muzzleloader since
I drew a multi season tag for elk and went archery, and some muzzleloader we cannot have scopes out here in Washington or Oregon we have to have open sights, they have .40 calibers the CVA Paramount that is shootong like a .300 win mag.....oh wait I think I remember a video of you blasting steel at 600 yards with one lol I want to get one but with open sights and see how it does. My son just turned 8 yesterday and he shot my .300 win mag Christensen MPR on a bipod and him sitting on a 5 gallon bucket, he just turned 7 and he shot that .300 win mag no problem, the NPR has a beast muzzle break and it kicks a tad more then a .243. I am definitely getting into muzzleloader and duck hunting things I never got into much. Im about your age and the last 14 years Ive strictly been archery hunting just got back into the rifles for bear and deer last year. Ive been watching your videos for a few years too by the way, you always respond and I give ya crap about your budget rifles but hey as you show in your videos they more then work!!! One of these days you gotta sell a few rifles you don't use and grab a Christensen Ridgeline or MPR when they go on sale!
BauBau I'm gonna get me that kinda set up for my new house! I can go set hunting off my front portch! Moving in in a couple months!
I've got a 1st generation optima I used to have the wolf took several deer with it. I used 110 grain blackhorn 209 with knight bloodline bullets
Interested in your cleaning schedule between shots? And.. light cleaning / heavy cleaning/ no cleaning? Thanks! I’m having grouping issues - about to swap to a different scope.
That's good shooting Hoot , Who Tee Who 🙏🇺🇸💪
My thompson center triumph likes the 245 grain aero nose with triple seven 50/50 pellets. 150 grains of powder. I can shoot confidently at 250 yds. Its crazy how much bullet drop those boolats have
Just ordered my cva wolf today.looking forward to shooting it
Awesome!
I was up in the air about getting a muzzle loader for the last few years. I said I’ll watch a review, I bet who tee got one lol sure enough, I went in to my local shop for the wolf left with the optima
Big CVA fan
Nice groups , never shot a muzzle loader but see where it extends the hint season , archery , muzzle, centrrfire .
Nothing like hunting with a smoke pole....nice video brother.
Beautiful 👍
If you like the wolf you should try one of their rifle or (my favorite) shotgun. My 20 gauge groups at 1.5 inches at 100 yards with Winchester solid copper rounds! I bought a .243 for my daughter and I don't have as much experience with it but love love love my 20 gauge!!!
And I got the 20 gauge and 243 under 250$ each
Im ordering 250 grain hornady sst's gonna use 2 triple 7 50 grain pellets, I also am going to put a bushnell dusk til dawn 3-9 40 mm on it
I have the first cva wolf that came out on market was only 99 dollars and found that with 100gr of powder and 180gr xtp bullet which is a hollow point it is in 44cal so I use a sabot the accuracy is incredible. The longest range I have taken a deer, my brother laser said 188 yards and the bullet had clean pass through, I shot a buck at a distance my friend could not believe the bullet was held by hide on opposite side the buck did run about 80 yards thought I missed at first. I sight all my guns inch and half high at 100 yards I'm an old man who has not been out in a while due to injuries at work sure miss the time my best friend we have hunted together since we were kid's back in the early 70's his father cannot go to far now. We try to get his father in a truck and let him hunt which is legal with permit, but my close friend just had a stroke not sure how this season is going to work remember to go when you can as you may not be able when you get older we only hunt for food so when we filled freezer with deer and we took first legal not picky we had more fun chasing tree rat's. Just remember be safe and enjoy the memories and have fun it is nice to get a big buck but them smaller doe's are easier to drag and taste better. In all the year's and all the Deers, we have shot some really nice bucks but we have never had any put on wall not a single one never gave it much thought.
Mzzleloaders are great!
You can skimp by with $300 to get into black powder hunting (gun, cheap scope, ammo, powder...). Here in NC Primitive weapon hunting, which has bow only at first, gives you an extra FIVE WEEK head start before regular gun season comes in. Why wouldn't you try? I love putting a deer in the freezer before it all starts. No itchy fingers, no pressure. Just exhale and start get picky.
Was just curious about what powder you use in yours !! I have the same on and everyone is telling me to use ELR 325gr or the AreoLite but never the powder they are using !! I’m getting great accuracy with what I’m shooting but sabots are a pain to load after the first shot. Want the bigger and heavier bullets. It would be greatly appreciated!!!
I'm sure this video helped a lot of people out hoodie thank you
Thanks for watching Gary
Barnes used to make an “X bullet” for muzzleloaders, and those were awesome! Found one in my box the other day, can’t buy them anymore I don’t think. They are the hollow point bullets that look like a flying ashtray the hole is so large in the bullet😂
Federal still makes some x bullet style muzzle loader bullets. Full 59 cal size if I remember correctly
50 cal, not 59
Wish we could use a scope, sabots and pellets here, conicals and powder only, no optics.. also can't operate in an action type like some of the bad bull built powder guns.. good ol Colorado. You can use all the good muzzle loader Bing bang fun shit during rifle season but at that point why lol....
cva has an oppertunity to fill in the Contender the . slot with it's wolf setup.contender started as a muzzl eloader as well
I've got a CVA Optima. I use the 250g Aerolite Powerbelts.
Awesome
Love the wolf . Took a few bears with mine .
Awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
200gr shok waves!
3 pellets.
Great groups
Shoots flat
Easier to find lately.
2200ish fps
Great video.
I’ve seen several hunting videos on RUclips of professional hunters using the Traditions Nitrofire which seems like a great option. However, you are the most trustworthy honest person on RUclips. Do you have any thoughts on that gun and the firestick system?
Have not tried them yet. Until this year they were illegal where I live
Great video. Sorry I missed the live.
Hey Robert
If you like ballistic tips you need to try Federal muzzleloader bullets I used to shoot them till he got hard to find I got a good deal one year on power belt Walmart had them on clearance $5 a pack I got 20 packs of the hollow point 290 grain 2 weeks ago I was cutting bullet hole bullet hole three time with my CVA optima
I jus got a ol ky long rife muzzle loader n .45cal never saw 1 in .45. Gotta get caps an bullets 2 fire it tho.
How much and what kind of powder/pellets did you use?
Bergara actually makes the barrels for all CVA Muzzleloaders which explains why they're just awesome.
100gr pyrodex pellets
CVA is the best working mans gun I know! good shooting
My wolf likes the Hornaday sst with triple 7 magnum powder.
So in Tennessee the muzzleloader season is before center fire rifle? That’s different than here in MO. Muzzleloader (Alternative Methods as it’s called here) isn’t until next month.
Yes. Muzzleloader first
I've shot the green bullets, they are accurate, load easily but suck hunting! They don't expand and zero blood trail. I shot a doe at 15 yards, she fell over I thought dead. As I reloaded I walked to where she was laying and no deer. I could see blood spray from the exit.. about 5 yards of blood drips and nothing else. We looked for the doe for a couple of hours. Another friend had same results. That was my last time using CVA bullets.
Have you ever tried the Thompson Center Shockwaves ? Its definitely my go to round on muzzleloading....
Never tried one
What brand powder and weight are you using? Walmart runs all of the muzzleloader items on clearance in January! I bought my CVA Scout V2 and a bunch of the ELR rounds that way.
100gr pyrodex pellets
How much powder can you put in a wolf? I like black powder, but don't have a rifle yet. I heard they range from 100 to 150 grains by volume. Idk
About to shoot a strawberry ballistic JELLOtin filled pumpkin tomorrow, because I have some crappy pumpkins and they are typically unremarkable to shoot. Debating on what cartridge to use.
Great video, thanks.What where you using for powder?
Pyrodex pellets
Thank you sir, safe hunting!
Having a hard time finding rail to bolt onto my CVA wolf where can I get a rail at
Edit: Just saw the end of the video looks like your using pyrodex pellets!
Maybe I missed it but what powder are you using? Iv'e had great accuracy out of Hornady 300gr xtp sabots. in my CVA optima V2 with 2 50gr triple 7 pellets. I have a remington 700 ML that im putting the badgerirdge conversion kit in and going to try loose powder. Triple 7 loose powder then blackhorn 209.
I use 100 gr
Hey who tee who, would you feel confident with the 24" barrel, to reach out 150-200 yards? Or would you rather get the optima with a 26"? Looking to buy my first muzzleloader.
I'd shoot the wolf to 200 yards, sure. Furthest deer I have taken with it was 120 yards
Really wanna get into muzzle loader
Did you say which power you had used and how many grains? I’m partial to 90g in my TC Hawken , 777. Thanks
Just found the answer. 😅 Thanks
Hey bro i have cva wolf stainless and i aint gound a good load yet i ben thanking bout trying them aero lites but im courious what charge and type of powder or pellets u using bro
I use 2 pellets of pyrodex (100 gr)
Thank you brother
Great video! What Powder Loading are you using?? WTW!!!!!!!
100 gr pyrodex pellets
My wife shoots the 250 gr areolights out of that same rifle. She took a huge buck with it here in Oklahoma last year.
Awesome!
Do you plan to use/ test any bullpup style rifles?
Maybe you said it and i missed it but what powder and primer are you using with the powerbelt 245s? Thanks
209 primer
100 grains pyrodex
Don’t own a muzzle loader but you got me feeling froggy lol 👍
Howdy Adam, saw your Buffalo hunt ranch from a guy getting his at same time you got yours. Do you have video of the Buffalo hunt
Yes. Video is up
What is your powder load? 100 GR? 150 gr? I use Thompson center sst 295 gr with 150 gr white hots.
100
What kind of, and charge of powder?
A few .45 Cal muzzle loader rifles on the market now cause some places prohibit .50 Cal.
Hey WTW. I am currently looking for a budget muzzleloader and was looking at some review videos. I think I am going with the CVA Wolf V2 SS model. Question: I didn't hear you say what powder you were using. Triple 7 maybe? Were you using 2 (100 gr) or 3 (150 gr) pellets? Most people use 2, as the manufacture recommends that. Just wanted to know what powder you were using here. Thanks!
I have always used pyrodex pellets
How much powder?
Hey WTW! Got a moose hunt in AK coming up that is limited to either shotgun or muzzleloader. Never shot a muzzleloader before but seems like they may be a bit more accurate than the average slug gun. Question: What would you recommend? 12g vs 20g? Smooth vs rifles bore? Shotgun vs muzzleloader?
That is really tough. I'd go with whatever you are most accurate with. Shot placement matters more. I'd trust a 12 gauge slug the most
@@WHOTEEWHO Awesome! Thanks for the reply and recommendation. Really appreciate it. Will likely opt for the 12 gauge.
