I am starting to get bored and i was wondering if anyone can recomend any good muzzleloader magazines or books or websites? I figured I would learn as much as I can during the off season. Thanks.

If you go to walmart they carry "the complete hunter" Muzzleloading.. Its a good book or better yet, check ebay for it.
Rick Hacker " the muzzleloading hunter" Great book.
The book of buckskinning is another great book.
Im more into reading about mountainmen-fur trade era so im not sure if you're interested in that kind but just incase i'll list a few:
Hugh glass,mountainman Left for dead " Robert M. Mcclung. Thats one of the best books ive read to this day.
Jim bridger, mountainman, Stanley Vestal
Broken hand Fitzpatrick, Shannon Garst.
Thats just a couple i recommend, I dont want to take up your entire post lol.
I'd buy the book by rick hacker first, thats a great book and covers everything from flintlocks to 6 shooter blackpowder pistons to blackpowder shotguns.
Hi Frontier Gander,
That first book that you listed is that by Toby Bridges? I just got one in today from e-bay, very cheap.Are you familiar with the Lyman book? I think it might be calledThe Blackpowder Handbook.It is around $25-$30.00, I was thinking of putting it on my list for my girls. I figured it might be better than clothes that I never seem to wear. If it is a good read.

Its on building your own muzzleloader and i just mainly have to learn about inletting the barrel/lock area. But i also forgot to mention a great magazine: The backwoodsman, Its like $20 a year. Do search on the net for their website. Or even Muzzleblasts
