As the title says I'm new here. I am a long time hunter and shooter, but never owned or shot a muzzleloader. I recently acquired a Sears .45 Kentucky Long Rifle kit still in the box and all the parts are there. I am about to start putting it together and would love to shoot it. Who knows maybe a little hunting with it as well. I have cruised your site and saw a lot of great info. I hope to glean a lot more from you. Tom
