By the way, Spiffy, I was just at Midwayusa.com and saw that they have a video by Thompson Center that covers the basics of Muzzleloading. It's only $7.99. They also have a more expensive one that includes more stuff.It might be a good idea to see someone else actually loading a ML, rather than just reading about it. Of course, the best thing is if you can find someone who can give you some personal instruction. Just a thought.
