T/C Omega .50 Cal firing a 350 gr. Hornady FPB (no Sabot) with 2 Triple Seven pellets and Remington clean bore 209 primers. Topped with a RedHead 3-9x40 Muzzleloader scope. I've got 4 doe in two season with it, three shots were under 40 yds, the 4th was just under 100. I'd really like to upgrade to one of the T/C models with the speed breach .

CVA Electra .50. My first and only muzzle loader and my sons favorite gun.
Very accurate and reliable.

T/C Omega .50 caliber, and just picked up a CVA replica 1865 Colt Navy. I think they stopped production on these pistols quite a number of years ago. Haven't shot the Navy yet, but plan to soon.

As long as I'm here, any suggestions on powder for the pistol? Is Bore Butter okay to use to plug the chambers in the cylinder?

Obviously I'm new to black powder pistols, so any suggestions are much appreciated.
