My wife has drawn a NM elk muzzleloader tag. I am looking for a muzzleloader to fit her and get more distance/velocity than she might get out of her TC Impact which shoots at 2025 fps. I am looking at doing a conversion of the CVA .45-70 Scout v2 with Jeff. Does anyone have experience with the CVA, after conversion, shooting BlackHorn 209 in the converted Scout .45-70? What load are you shooting at what velocity?

Not sure of velocities achievable with blackhorn but I would certainly think the gun would be better. I would strongly recommend getting a 4 gill break. Look into use of direct ignition. I use a CVA hunter smokeless and it’s pretty amazing. You might want to make this post in the “Modern black powder and subs” section.
