Default New to ML, what do I need to know?

I just started muzzle loading this year. I was out shooting tonight for the first time and it was a lot of fun. I am shooting a T/C Thunderhawk with 90grn fffg777 and 300 grn Keith noze hollow point Precision muzzle loading bullets. I sighted it in 1.5" high at 100 yds, where would I be at 150? 200?
I shot about 30 shots tonight, using a spit patch between shots, and cleaned it a couple times using bore cleaning solvent. When I was done I cleaned it out till the patchs came out clean...is there anything else I should do? Should I shoot a "fouling" shot before I go hunting with it?
The rut is starting to kick in, so it is gonna be fun to be in the woods..thanks for your advise.
