i just picked up 2 50.cal black powder rifles and needing parts for them there CVA. also needing info on the grease you use to put in after you have loaded all chambers, new to the black powder thanks

What kind of rifles are these exactly? Are these inline, percussion, or flint?? You will need to use high temp anti-sieze on the breech plug threads on an in-line, but you only grease the patch or grooves on a conical in the other two frontloaders.

This sounds like a revolver question. Do you have a revolver also?

Hey wingman, for those .50's I would recommend that you start off with a charge of 50 grains of FFg black powder (ie GOEX) and work from there. Picking the charge, ball, patch combo that your gun likes best is half the fun of shooting these guns!

I've got a CVA Mountain stalker that loves a .490 patched ball over 90gr of Pyrodex RS (FFg equivalent).
