I recently purchased my first muzzleloader from a member here. A Jukar Spanish 45 Kentucky long rifle clone. It hasn't arrived yet, but as far as I know, all that will be in the box is the rifle/ramrod and some round balls of proper diameter. I'm not positive what I am going to need in addition to this. How does this list look? And where is a good place to look for this stuff?
1. More knowledge!
2. Powder
3. Patches for balls
4. Lube of some sort? For the patches?
5. Something to keep the lube above seperate from the powder?
6. Percussion caps
7. A short starter may be nice
8. Something to measure the powder
9. Stuck ball remover will eventually be needed
10. More balls
For powder, is real black required, or can I go with a substitute? I'm not sure about the lube, but I plan to shoot patched round balls to start off, but may want to try a Minne or something.
And before anyone says it, I need to educate myself some more on the subject.
