Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CVA Paramount a revolutionary long-range muzzleloader?

The CVA Paramount is revolutionary due to its patented bolt system that eliminates blowback, ensuring consistent velocities akin to centerfire rifles. It features a .45 caliber barrel optimized for accuracy and a TriggerTech adjustable trigger for enhanced shooting experience, making it a true long-range hunting tool.

What are the recommended loads for the CVA Paramount muzzleloader?

For the CVA Paramount series, recommended loads include 140 grains by volume of Blackhorn 209 (approx. 98 grains by weight) for less recoil, or 150 grains by volume (approx. 105 grains by weight) for increased velocity and flatter trajectory at longer distances.

What are the key features of the CVA Paramount Pro model?

The Paramount Pro boasts a TriggerTech adjustable trigger for personalized pull weight, a gray stock with a cheek piece for better ergonomics, and retains the .45 caliber barrel with a 1:22 twist rate. It also comes threaded for a self-timing muzzle brake.

Why did CVA choose the .45 caliber for the Paramount over the .50 caliber?

CVA engineers found that achieving desired velocities and managing recoil with heavy bullets in .50 caliber was challenging. They pivoted to the .45 caliber, which offers inherent accuracy advantages, making it more suitable for precise long-range shots required in big game hunting.
