    I am new to muzzleloading and just purchased a used T/C New Englander. The person who I was speaking to about purchasing the gun game me lots of advise. I would like to confirm the load he suggested. He sold me 50 cal, .490 round balls and said 80g of Pyrodex is his standard hunting load. I'm...
