Look up a book by Sam Fadala. Muzzle loaders handbook. sorry, it has been years since I read it, but it is valuable info.

This dude is gonna hurt someone.
One other thing. Gotta totally clean every time. 1 shot or 100. No difference!! Boiling water is best. Ivory flakes are great also.
Good luck!

I second the recommendation of Sam Fadala’s books. They’re packed with information on both muzzle loaders and loading black powder cartridges.
