I will complete my 71/84 Mauser in the next week or so and want to shoot it with black powder and paper patched boolits as that is what it was designed for.
That said , I know absolutely nothing about black powder or paperpatching.
Reading the posts (to a newbe) makes even more of a science or black art.
I would like to start at the beginning with a couple of good books or manuals on paperpatching and black powder and learn it right from the beginning rather than start in the middle and have to do it over again.
I guess what I am looking for is someone to give me a starting point and point me in the right direction.
Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated
