could use some muzzleloader advice

Congrates on the purchase! Awesome choice!

as for other toys:

Range rod for sure, those ones under the barrel suck after a couple shots!

CVA make a beginner Kit that comes with  PowerBelt bullets, hollow point bullet starter, breech plug/nipple grease, PowerBelt SpeedClip loader, Barrel Blaster solvent, cleaning patches, cleaning brush, breech brush set, and instructional DVD for about $60

if you don't want the whole kit, then just get bullet a starter, Nipple grease, Black powder solvent, Cleaning patches w/ brush and some barrel butter to lube the bullets for easier starting.


I use the musket primers in mine with 150g of pyrodex pellets, good stuff manerd.

Thank you for the help. I really appreciate it.

No problemo,

Black powder has alot to remember and all sorts of little stuff you have to buy. its no wonder so many people to modern!

Never store the gun loaded for a long period of time.

Clean it after fireing with good solvent. if you want to fowl the barrel a little pop a couple primers in it (unloaded of course).

Always use the grease for the breach plug and nipple otherwise you'll never get it back out.

I always put a little barrel butter on a patch and run it down the barrel a couple times before storing.

...yep I'm missing my Remington 700 already

Is this to "season" it before shooting?

Thanks again for the advice.

yeah they say its supposed to season the barrel, wether is does or not I'm not sure. I mostly do it cause its kinda like oiling your barrel on a rifle before storage, keep moisture out.

Fouling is to make sure all the moisture and/or any cleaning product is out of the breech/barrel. If you are going to foul, make sure you do it everytime and sight your loader in at the range using the same process that you are going to hunt with.
