My dad was a lifelong muzzleloader, here in Michigan, as kids it was Greenfield village, Beaverton with the big teepee, Friendship, IN. Etc etc. I now have his muzzleloaders, and joined the forum to maybe get an idea of what I have. He always talked about them, but unfortunately didn't write down the specifics. Whether it was something he made, or bought, caliber, how to care for them etc etc. so, here I am, just browsing posts, getting educated.
