CVA Accura MR Nitride

[jim]

Cva optima or tc impact would be my choice for the first time muzzleload hunter. Use pullets and they are easy to load.

Whenever I shoot pullets out of my ML, all I get is smoke and feathers!!

LMAO.. Ty, Ill take those into considerations.. Now are Pullets more expensive than pellets and do they measure out the same ?

I bought a CVA Accura V2 this month in stainless. I was thinking of getting it in the nitride finish but decided against it after reading about 100 reviews this past year. A couple of them complained about the finish discolouring after periodic use. All the other aspects were well liked and no complaints from the stainless owners. This was a muzzle loader recommended by a rep from Western Powders after I contact them to correct ignition problems with my Kodiak last year.

Does any body know, what process they use for this coating???

The 100 ft per second faster is interesting though.

Apology, MP, for veering off the topic a bit ......

I noted Traditions now offers the Vortek "LDR" that has the capablity to reach out quite a bit as per the following demo ....



Interestingly, they are also offer a hammerless version called the Strikerfire .....

No problem, I see that Traditions uses the Premium CeraKote Finish , a ceramic coating;

Cerakote is a ceramic based finish that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers, and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.

I hadn't realized there were so many kinds of coatings that you can get for your rifles. It looks like a crowded market. I started to read some comparisons to see what is best, but hard to find a proven test report, mostly just anecdotal user information out there.

I was surprised at how many guys get there Stainless Steel barrels coated....
