Default Must have items.

What item or items have you found that have made muzzleloading easier or more enjoyable. For example, the spinjag is very popular with many. What else is available that you would consider a must have item in your kit.

Blackhorn209! LOL.

My lead sled has made things a lot more fun as i can now see the accuracy my rifles are truly capable of.

Another item thats been a HUGE help is my tipton best gun vise. I do all sorts of stuff on top of that gun vise.

+1 for Blackhorn 209, Caldwell Tack driver bag, Caldwell universal deluxe rear bag, decent cleaning supplies, I'm assuming the Knight Ultimate Range Rod I just bought is going to make things more enjoyable as well, Lanes tubes, I really enjoy using the shoot-n-see targets. Oh and the Spinjag.

Blackhorn has made it much more enjoyable and the Knight range rod has made loading correctly much easier. Modding the breach plugs has made it cheaper.

The one item for me that has made MLing much more enjoyable without a doubt has to be my Bergara SS Barrel. The accuracy and ease of cleaning of this barrel has put a big smile on my face.

+1 for me on the Tipton Best Gun Vise. I love mine. Great for cleaning any type of gun, scope installations, gunsmithing, etc.

A good range rod is a must in my opinion. I have two- one for cleaning and one for loading!

Items for my shooting kit that I find very worth while (and I will not name a type of powder) would be Q tips, an old tooth brush, a wire battery terminal brush for cleaning breech plugs and nipples, and the 209 dog bone capper for those hard to cap rifles.

I just got my Knight ultimate range rod today. Wow what quality...and a what I consider a great price. This thing is going to change shooting and cleaning for me. I am going to the range tomorrow and shoot the new MK85. I love this sport.
