oh and the tc impact, i checked one out at cabelas. Its super cheap and the stock again is a big failure, i call it a Bubble gum stock. The stock on the TC Northwest gets even worse. You can spread the northwests stock away from the barrel with your bare fingers and theres where i came up with the name * bubble gum stock*

Keep it coming brutha :D I LOVE the fit and finish on my CVA Optima, everything is flush and fits tightly. Even the stock ;) Just sucks that I haven't gotten to shoot it yet :jaw:

Suggestions please!

T/C's will absolutely handle full 150-grain loads. The question is, will your rifle shoot accurately with that load? Some will and some won't. I have a three T/C's and love them to death. My 50 caliber is an Omega Z5 and it is scoped with a 3-9 variable. I've tried many different bullet combinations and, for my gun, the best shooting round is a Hornady 250-grain HP/XTP in an HPH 3-Petal EZ sabot pushed with 110 grains of Pyrodex Ffg and a CCI 209M primer. That combo puts five rounds in one ragged hole at 50 yards. Sighted in at 130 yards, the bullet is 2" high at 50, 2" high at 100 and 2" low at 150, pretty easy to remember! The velocity and energy are excellent with that load out to 150 yards. If you want a heavier load, you can go with the 300-grain bullet, but go with the HP/XTP, NOT the XTP/Mag. Unless you are shooting a 150-grain load, the mag version won't open properly.

I currently have 4 muzzle loaders. One TC, One CVA and two Remingtons. None of them shoot 150grs. of powder accuratly. I shoot 130grs. Out of all of them and the accuracey is acceptable. I like to make sure I get as much velocity as possible as long as the bullet is hitting close to where I am aiming.

As far as which one is best. I guess I like the CVA the best. They all shoot just about the same. Something about the CVA just feels better to me.

:gun2:
