I am a complete clutz when it comes to black powder.
I have a 71/84 Mauser I want to shoot with black powder.
That said I must learn as much as I possibly can to keep from making an ash of myself.
So to start at the beginning , is there a book or books I could ( should) buy to learn the first basic lesons of black powder.
I have read all of the stickies and as much of the posts as I could understand, and the only thing I know for sure is everyone has their own special way of doing it.
So, I am looking for the basics to start with and then maybe I will understand what everyone is talking about.
Any help will be appreciated
