I don't know if this is the right place or not If not I do apologize. I need advice and it looks to me like this is probably the best place for it. I have never done much more than play with Muzzle loaders. And I was hoping that this being pretty much a black powder area. You all have the answers I am looking for. I have a cheap smoke pole 50 caliber I have been using sabots and 44 bullets I swage But I think I would like to go straight lead ..... SO what do i need to get? Mold can I or should I paper patch ETC. Thanks in advance.

The first thing you need is the measurement of your lands and groove diameter. You also need to know the twist of the rifling. I would imagine its fairly slow twist and that will limit you on the bullet length that will stablize.
Once you know the measurements I'ld suggest you call Buffalo Arms and ask them for their suggestion. They can sell you moulds and all the accessories to go along with it, once you figure out what you need.
