If you just took the rifle out of the box and have little to no experience with muzzleloaders, get a box of pellets for your first time out. Some Pyrodex pellets in 50 grains. Load two pellets and a 200 or 250 grain Shockwave. I think that will put you out there around 150 yards. By the way, that rifle can shoot three pellets.

If pellets are too expensive, then get a pound of loose Triple Se7en FFg. Also make sure you have some gun cleaning patches for swabbing the barrel with and a good swab solution. Swab the barrel between shots with one or two wet/damp patches and then make sure you run dry patches until they feel dry to you touch.

If your shooting pellets get some Winchester W209 primers. If shooting loose then some of the Remington Kleenbore Primers will work fine.

Also get some of the 240 grain T/C MagExpress XTP's and try them. Lets not hope you have one of them super tight bores I have been reading about. You might even want to get a range rod, a short starter, cleaning jags, and shockwave loading joags before heading out.

Good luck with your new rifle and welcome to the forum... good to have you. You have a great rifle.
