What do I go for?

[509TrophyHusband]

Hey guys! I am looking at purchasing a muzzleloader to hunt with in Washington. Washington law say we can only use 1x red dot sight. So max range will be around 300 yds I'm guessing. So with that being known, which muzzy does a guy choose? I like the idea of the cva accura lrx or the cva endura. I would love to hear some opinions on some muzzys. Also I am more of a buy once cry once kind of guy. However I don't believe I need to go crazy with an arrowhead or Hankins knowing my limit will be around 300 yds. Please let me know if you have any other options or if you have any experience with the cva stuff. Thanks in advance guys.

I just set up a CVA Accura LRX for a friend. It's a laser.
270 AeroTip ELR 2000fps with 105gr by weight Triple-7.

Get a stand alone cleaning/ram rod for it with cleaning jag. The expandable is only good for loading as the shock cord tent leg style ram rod pulls apart doing anything else. If you shoot the ELR, get the brass bullet seater jags. I also had to chamfer the insides so they wouldn't stick to the bullet. Or do yourself a favor and don't shoot those dam things.

My dad runs a accura lr 45 cal . Definitely get a new ram rod as noted they suck . Run blackhorn 209 . Not as corrosive and can clean with your rifle stuff. No special cleaners less rust from powder. .
I run the 45cal paramount pro great gun with a arrow head plug but more gun than you need. They are now discontinued.

Are you saying regular rifle cleaning solvents work fine for BH 209?
