Default White's ultra mag on the way, now what?

Hi Guys,

Asa result of this great forum, I've discovered the White's ML specific DWB'sforum(http://dwbs.proboards28.com/index.cgi) and have spent the last couple days reading over there.At this point it's feeling like information overload to be sure.

I'm a WA state deer hunter (white tail/ mule) this year and if all goes well expanding to elk next year. I've got an Ultra Mag on the way - what else do I need to do and / or order that'll get me up and shooting when my new baby arrives in a few days?

I know I need to try various bullet/powder combinations to determine what my new ML likes for chow, but any/all input into first steps simple loading/cleaning recipies will help build confidence and easemy road to ML nirvana! The Ultra Mag shipped today - so I'd liketo place orders necessary supplies over the next couple days too ...

- powder: Goex or T7?2F or 3F? Note thewhole 2F vs. 3F thing is confusing here ...
- conical bullets- Dead Centers, No Excuses?
-the famed hybrid Power Belts?
- or perhaps the sabotBuffalo SSBs, or??
- CCI #11 magnum caps correct?
- I recall reading whereby 2ea 1/16 wads are required for the large conicals, correct? If so, where do you get these things?
- to lube or not to lube, that is the question?
- cleaning supplies / tools - no clue!
- spare White parts? #11 Breech plug, "spring something" next, #11 hammer if it doesn't come with the Ultra Mag package, and ??
- thanks to sabotloader I know to get some wood finish/wax
- anything missing?

I'm sorry for asking all these questions - if there's a FAQ or WP (White Paper) on these topics just point them out and I'll dig in reading, etc ...

thanks again guys!
phil
