What I would do (and did) to get into Muzzleloading....Thanks for the birthday wishes and the great info. I’m starting to think my best introduction to muzzleloader use might be the Firestick route. Start with something more out-of-the-box so to speak than loose powder
Hit your local pawn shops, etc. and find an inexpensive percussion or in-line rifle. Acquire supplies, and shoot real black or Pyrodex or T7 (I prefer real black, less corrosion and not really any more cleaning needed), and learn.
My .54 percussion was tagged at $125 and I paid $100 OTD. Could've gotten a .50 inline for the same price, but I wanted percussion. I see deals like this with just about every pawn shop circuit run I do every few months (cheaper and better than gunshows). Powder, caps, and all teh doo-dads and such needed set me back $100 or so total, and that gave me enough to shoot several hundred rounds.
