Default muzzleloader loading question

this might sound extremely dumb or silly, but it is a question i have lol. i have the WOlF 50 cal. muzzleloder. bought it last year, only used it once -never shot anything with it. I will be hunting with it tomarrow and want to make sure im loading it correctly. I simply take two cylinders of black powder, drop it down the barrel, i then take a 50 cal. slug and drop it down the barrel. I then use the rod to firmly press those two elements down into the barrel so they stay put. I then take one of those little caps, open the break action and place it in there. close action, and pull back hammer when ready and fire.

is this correct? I know it sounds like a fundalmental question, but i hardly ever use a ML (usually bow and shotgun) so my understanding of it is somewhat under par. and there is no scope, im usingiron sights so im pretty sure it is on point (atleats it was last year when my uncle shot it). Thanks for the help, again sorry for the basic question
