WHAT DO I NEED WHEN I AM ABOUT TO SHOOT MY RIFLE[/b]

Black powder rifle supplies

DECIDE ON THE KIND OF POWDER[/b]


Pyrodex
Triple Se7en
Goex
Black Mag3
American Pioneer Powder[/ul]
If this is a percussion cap which would be recommend for someone new to the sport, I would suggest Pyrodex RS, Goex 2f, or Triple Se7en 2f. Pyrodex while dirty is a very consistant powder, with excellent power, and good ignition. Also it is easy to find in most places. Get the powder in loose form. This is also a good time to pick up a new Stainless Steel Hot Shot nipple.. make sure the threads are for the rifle you pick... and some #11 caps. I like the CCI Magnum (NOT THE STANDARD CCI) and the RWS 1075, also the Remington 40% hotter will do when nothing else is around.
