For Christmas this year I received a T/C Omega. I have been a hunter for many years, but this is my first experience with black powder. I was wondering if anyone knew of any sites or resources where I might be able to learn some things about muzzleloaders. Specifically I am looking for information about all the different bullets and things such as range for these bullets. I have been using T/C shockwave 250 grain bullets with 2 50 grain pyrodex pellets simply because that was what came with the gun. The only problem is that these are a little expensive to use while familiarizing myself with this gun. Are there some cheaper alternatives I can use when sighting and "fun" shooting that will still give me good performance when deer season rolls around?
Basically, can you tell me where to find everything I might ever possibly need to know about black powder so I won't spend the next 10 months bothering you guys with all my questions.
