[QUOTE="BrianID, post: 1968349, member: 104589"] I have the 2019 paramount and I haven't noticed a significant issue with the first shot being a significant "flyer". The instructions from CVA for the paramount tell you to fire a primer in the empty barrel before loading the first time after cleaning. I've only been firing one primer instead of two before loading after cleaning. I've only had my Paramount for a couple months and I'm far from an expert with it. As long as it isn't windy I am getting about 1 MOA out of it. I'm very happy with 1 MOA for a muzzleloader. At this point I feel very confident out to 300 yards if I have time to get a rest and it isn't too windy. Even though I could likely hit a deer with the first shot at 400 or even 500 yards, I feel more confident in my ability to get closer than taking that long of a shot with a muzzleloader. Maybe with more practice I'll be able to extend my range beyond 300 yards but I'm very pleased to have a muzzleloader that I feel very confident in killing a deer with one shot at 300 yards or less. Almost all my "flyers" with my Paramount have been the result of wind and me not compensating for it correctly. I have noticed the wind drift from the Paramount is more than I expected. Based on my limited experience so far, wind drift is comparable to my 223 Remington. When there is a 20 mph wind, I have a very difficult time keeping the bullet less than 2 MOA at 300 yards. If there is any significant wind, I'm just as likely to make a bad shot on a deer at 400 yards as I am to kill it. [/QUOTE]
