For you ML cats, what is your recommended gear list for a person who just ordered his first muzzle loader (sure, you can be brand/type specific if you are so inclined)? Kind of a "what's in the bag" kinda thread ;). Recommended places to shop for said gear (local stores, on-line)?

Well, I finally decided to get a ML. Been chewing on it for many, many years and said what the hay... let's get one of those ;). After a bit of research over the past few weeks, I ended up ordering a Traditions Vortek UL. Now I have till next fall to figure out which end is which, what it likes to be fed, and what I need for accompanying gear (projectiles, powder type, those plastic pre-load storage thingamajigs, cleaning supplies, range gear/bag, carry while hunting gear/bag, soft storage case, etc..).

Also, search the boards and read Sabotloaders threads. He's a wealth of knowledge and there are a few others on here that are knowledgeable too.
Congrats on purchasing a muzzleloader. I have 5 and thinking about buying another. :chuckle:

A good capper is totally a must. I missed a huge(I mean HUGE buck and was shaking so bad during the reload, theres no way I could have slid on a musket cap with my fingers. Might not be an issue with your break action but definitely try reloading in as many situations as you can.
Man, im so addicted to my muzzy. Bought a Knight UL this year and have been loving it. Not sure I will go back to Modern!
