BP newb from Illinois checking in

[Jason.45]

I've had a .45 cal flintlock pistol for a couple years now, but have only shot it a couple of times. I'm really wanting to get it running well now so I came looking for someplace to learn about BP.
I still mostly shoot modern guns, but have fallen in love with the flintlocks. I really don't have money now, but when I do, I'm planing on picking up a .45 cal Kentucky-style flint rifle (and of course, others after that).
Thanks to all of you for the knowledge you dole out to folks like me :hatsoff:

Howdy Jason! Welcome aboard. :hatsoff:

You definately came to the right place to learn more about muzzleloading. I've learned more here than I had in decades of trial and error.
