CVA has released a new model of the Paramount Pro for 2023, termed the Paramount Pro V2. The muzzleloader utilizes the same VariFlame Breech Plug adapter as its predecessors, allowing it to use large-rifle primers for consistent ignition of what CVA terms "super-magnum" charges.

With its hunting-style stock, adjustable comb and premium Bergara barrel, the .40-caliber CVA Paramount HTR is capable of producing centerfire velocities previously thought unattainable from a muzzleloader.

Our Muzzleloader of the Year, the CVA Paramount, is built for long-range hunters.

The Paramount is far more than your average blackpowder rifle. Designed for shots at 300 yards and beyond, it delivers the performance of a centerfire rifle in a gun that can be used during every season except bow season.

American Hunter Field Editor Jeff Johnston takes a look at the new CVA Paramount Long Range Muzzleloader.

Designed for shots at 300 yards and beyond, the new .45-caliber bolt-action muzzleloader fires a 280-grain PowerBelt ELR bullet at 2200 fps.

For most of PowerBelt’s less-than-20-year existence, it’s been the dominant bullet brand in muzzleloading, and though it caught on quickly, this All-American success story didn’t occur without much hard work and sacrifice. Here’s how they did it.
