Rob...........Do not loose heart. For starters , you might need , .012 thick muslin patches , perhaps .440 round balls , percussion caps , FFFG black powder , powder measure for about 60 GR. FFFG. black powder. , loading /cleaning rod with correct r/r tip , and patch lubricant. Only have to buy most of this stuff once , except for ammo components , and percussion caps. Don't forgot nipple wrench. Cleaning patches , can be cut from old cotton Tee shirt. 6" ball starter can be made from a piece of cleaning rod. As you figure this rifle out , ask questions on the Forum , and answers will come quickly.

Now if humor can't be found mixed with some seriousness, then I don't belong here. Appreciate your message, thank you.
He has been a member for 12 years not newWe should all apologize for that.
Any time you join a new forum on a particular subject you will encounter their own acronym language. It is a common failing and, really, rude to the newcomer who is trying to learn.
I belong to a wood working forum that has a sticky with a list of acronyms for newcomers.
But, FWIW (for what it's worth), that is the least of the craziness you will encounter here.Welcome and good luck.
My bad didnt look at the date please forgive me

It's all good..Ifin the "NG" doesn't get any "needling" then I'd think there was no real people here. Thank you.

Really appreciate this information OldWood, helps a ton. Thanks again
find a group that gets together to shoot they will be your best help ......that being said you well have to blend what your being told from several people into what for you ! A location where you are located would help to hook you up with fellow shooters here in Minnesota we have a shoot on Saturday the 12th in morristown

A local university recently cancelled its window/sticker sales - permanently
The sticker -- "FU" ---Finlandia University (Now closed
)
Purchase a book , Lyman,Sam Fadela or other such notable name.
It does for us hunt and peck Typers
@RobTom, a very good book on black powder is the Lyman "Black Powder Handbook". Sure the book was published in 1975, but the information hasn't really changed all that much. A used copy is showing on Amazon for $6.92 which doesn't include shipping. The 4th edition of the Gun Digest "Black Powder Loading Manual" is also full of good information and may have data on your speciifc rifle.
NO dumb questions...
What I meant (for those who didn't get it) is that there are no dumb questions. Well, maybe...
