I noticed #13 is highlited. GOOD POINT!!! Shooting the ramrod is not a good thing to do. Kicks like "he#*" too. I might suggest that depending on what bullets you intend to use and what you plan to do with the rifle, you take a little time to evaluate how much you need to purchase in supplies. If hunting and only deer or smaller then the under 300gr. bullets should be fine. I might also suggest that you start with Pyrodex even though it is more dirty than most of the new synthetics like Tripple Seven, American Pioneer, Black Mag'3, Goex Pinnacle etc. These newer powder forms are really clean and most are easy to deal with but some are a little picky as to how you load and select bullets for them. In my experience Pyrodex seems to be alot more forgiving and seems to work pretty well with almost any bullet. As suggested get a good solid range rod or two since the ramrod that comes with the rifle is a telescoping one that is less than perfect for heavy use. Personally I would only use it enough to be familiar with how it works and do all other loading and cleaning with solid range rods. That way you can leave the production rod in place just like it will be when you are hunting. Some rifles seem to shoot differently with the ramrod in place vs. ramrod out of the rifle. Once you are comfortable with the rifle then you might consider a different powder and at that time will have more experience to help sort out any problems you might run into. Look for either Winchester Tripple Seven 209 primers or Remington Kleenbore as they are less powerful than standard shotgun 209 primers. You do not want the standard shotgun primers in most cases as the additional power can cause more heavy fouling. Later on you might want to consider getting the conversion .25ACP breechplug which allows use of .25 brass with small rifle primers rather than the plastic carriers that come with the stock rifle. I find the conversion easier to deal with however I am a reloader so I have the equipment to set and remove primers already. The .25 brass with a rifle primer in it is easier to handle than the 209 shotgun primers. The brass lasts longer than the plastic carriers also. This is probably more than you need to know at this point. I tried to only add things that might help you get started without too many sideroads to go down.
