Hello from Maryland

[Uncle Jack]

I’m new to black powder and can truly say that I’ve been bitten by the BP bug. I own a Pietta 1851 Colt Navy in .44 cal. and just completed a Cabela’s Traditional Hawken .50 cal. percussion rifle kit. I’m looking forward to learning about BP on the Forum and applying it on the range and field. Thanks for having me!
