I know there are multiple threads on loads for the cva scout conversion, but nothing I feel comfortable using as my own. I’m new to smokeless muzzleloading and don’t want any surprises that I can help. I have some 250gr hornady xtp and I’m looking at the fury 265gr sbt. I’ve looked and can’t find h or imr4198, I’ve found imr4227 one or two places so I could get that. What are some loads for these weight bullets and what’s some powder options that I can use? I’ve also heard of imr30301 being used. Any help would be much appreciated I’m sending my barrel to Jeff shortly and with hunting season a ways off I’ve got time to look for supplies.

IMR 3031 will be very dirty, and you'll need about 30% more than 4198. Also, you may want to try N-120 look around on this site you'll find a good starting point. I did find at 100 yards fairly good accuracy with 250 xtps. But they grenade at SML speeds.

With zero experience you may want to use a proven powder and bullet combinations. At least you’re sending it to a guy that’s knowledgeable with true machining skills and not some guy that just started a YouTube channel.
4227 is what I use along with 265 Fury and 300 XTP for anything under 150 yards and 275/300 Pittman’s over 150 yards.
Large or magnum primers with a DI plug.
Since your a green hat, make sure you mark your ramrod so you don’t double load something. Always double check your wisdom mark that’s it’s in the same place after pushing the bullet down the tube. If it’s a 1/4" off you can find yourself with a pipe bomb. I’ve shot a lot of powder up with SML and I still use my wisdom mark on my ramrod with every bullet I push down the barrel.

there is a place here in NC that has 30,1lb containers of IMR 4198 on the shelf, sorry they do not have a web site Wouldn’t happen to be somewhat close to Columbus County would it? Thanks for the input guys. Only other question ,I’m assuming Jeff will put the HIS plug in after conversion. Do I need to ask for the DI plug? I see a lot of people saying they have it and it’s that way to go and some say that they like the HIS plug. |

It’s up to you. Jeff makes them both and both plugs are interchangeable with each other. Watch his videos and pick the one you think will work best for you.

I see a lot of people saying they have it and it’s that way to go and some say that they like the HIS plug. Just an opinion, so take it for what it is worth. If I were primarily a target shooter, I'd consider DI. I'm primarily a hunter and I find HIS faster and easier for reloading in the field. |
