Default RE: My question of the day...I'm glad everyone keeps

Pick a Powder

Pyrodex RS (I'd start with this powder personally)
Triple Se7en
Goex
Black Mag3
American Pioneer Powder
loose powder only for your rifle since you have a T/C Hawkins

TOOLS NEEDED


See through powder measure
Cleaning/loading jag
Bore guide (not essential but protect the bore of your rifle)
Cleaning mop
Patch worm
Bore brush
Short starter- wooden ball type suggested
Capper- straight line in your case is fine
Nipple pick

CLEANING SUPPLIES

Isopropyl alcohol 91%
Car windshield washer fluid
Bore butter or lube for conical bullets
Gun Oil – Birchwood Casey Sheath, REM OIL, Breakfree CLP
Q-tip safety swabs
Cleaning Patches - these are dry patches with nothing on them
A range rod is real nice as you will come to learn
Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber


PROJECTILES
Conicals - maxiball, maxihunters, great plains conicals, powerbelts, etc.
Roundball and patch (patches come as pre lubed or dry. Pre lubed already have the lube on them. Dry need to have a lube applied to them. Pillow Tick is a 100% cotton patch. It is sometimes called blue strip also. It can be purchased in dryor pre lubed.

That should pretty well get you started
