Default RE: HELP PLEASE

Hi ontario hunter - welcome to the world of Black Powder shooting. cayugad knows his stuff, and I would not presume to correct anything he has said. However, since you admittedly are a newbie at this, perhaps I can just clarify something that many of us take for granted.
When cayugad says, "what works in their rifles does not mean they will work in yours", he doesn't mean they won't work AT ALL - like nor firing or something - he means certain powder and projectile combinations will give different results in different guns. Sometimes this difference is very small, and really has no effect on your ability to kill a deer at 100 yards or so. But to the guy who wants to get the absolutely smallest group on paper that he can, a little difference may mean a lot.
Assuming you're going to be using 209 primers, try to find the Remington Kleenbore, though all brands will work.If you want to use pellets rather than loose powder, use two 50 gr pellets, either Pyrodex or Triple Se7en. Follow the recommended loads in your manual. READ your manual to make sure you understand how your gun works. Once you have used it for a while and gotten used to loading and shooting, you might want to start trying different powders and projectiles. Keep it kind of basic at the beginning.
If you have questions - this is the place to get answers.
