OK i know what a good muzzle loader will cost me
how much will it cost me to get all the stuff i need to shoot it
the cleaning supply's
any tools to load and clean
primers
prodex pellets
or powder
and any i need to start using muzzleloader
also i have seen alot of kits that have a gun usually cva with the cleaning stuff bullets everything but powder and primers
are these kits a good buy i thought about getting a Kit and then some good bullets the powder and primers or should i buy a gun and then buy all the other little things is it cost effective also are the kits done up with good stuff i do not mean paying more money for better stuff
You need to budget $100 for supplies. Powder is about $27 for a bottle of 777. Solvent is $8. Cleaning jag about $5. Patches are about $15/500 of the 2" size. Powder measure is about $10. So as you can see, this is about $50 already and I didn't buy everything on Cayugad's list. You can buy a lot of stuff now on sale at Wal-Mart if they are not sold out of it. Usually goes real fast. Bullet are expensive $1/each. If your concerned about cost, then use Speer Gold Dot 300g, they are $16 per box of 50 from MidSouth Shooter's supply:
