Hello everyone! I have been on here for several years now. I have a few general questions to ask about muzzleloaders. Only ever used one once and that was 14 years ago. I finally got drawn for my ND whitetail buck muzzle tag after a 14 year wait. I had received a CVA Wolf 14 years ago for xmas from my dad to use for that hunt. It has open sights on it. I had bought a CVA Kodiak or optima i cannot remember which one right now as i type, a few years back from a gal for $50 have never shot it yet it has a 1x scope on it. I am not fond of the scope on how the crosshairs are.
My questions are i still have powder pellets from 14 years ago, should i worry about using them? just buy new ones? same goes for the primers.
Does anyone recommend certain bullets and powder? This is in a 50 cal
Last question any recommendations on a 1x scope. I saw a vortex one online that seems decent, also been thinking about the red dot or just use the iron sights.
The plan was to use the wolf with open sights, then put an optic on the other go out and shoot and see which i prefer.
Thanks in advance i cannot wait to go out this winter with muzzleloader, it is a statewide tag here in ND and i am going to go every day until it is filled. I also drew my ND Mule deer tag this year after a 6 year wait on top of my archery tag. It is going to be a challenging but very fun fall/winter for me and am fortunate to be able to get all these tags but is bitter sweet knowing i may not draw these for another decade.
