Ok guys, I drew a decent late season Utah muzzy deer tag, I want to get my gun set up and shooting good and have bought some powder and bullets to try a few out and see what it likes.
Gun is a CVA Optima, I have a cheap BHA scope on it right now, and I am going to upgrade that to something else a little better.
Any tips for me while figuring out what the gun likes.
I will be using Triple 7 loose powder and have enough to last me through the hunt (I know BH 209 is better but its impossible to get and I don't want to be stuck without powder before my hunt)
I have a few different bullets to try out in different weights. mostly powerbelts, and I think some Hornady's.
Anyway what tips do you all have for me when shooting to keep things consistent and going off without a problem. I have had hell with muzzleloaders in the past and have shied away from them for that reason but want to do this right.
Would like to be able to shoot out to 300 yards with confidence. Thanks for any advice you might have.
