Read this:
http://www.chuckhawks.com/clean_muzzleloader.htm. Cayugad will give a detailed list of essentials, that he can cut and paste in. Sabotloader can give you a picture of his dry box, with arrows to every item in his box. You need patches, some rubbing alochol and some windshield washer fluid to clean your gun. I buy patches from RMCSports, usually in 500, the round 2.5" patches are best. You need a separate cleaning rod, your ram rod will work, but it is easier to get a longer "range rod". Powder. Bullets. I love the bullet topic---I am very biased toward strong bullets not "mushrooming" or fragmenting bullets. I have an Omega and I get this accuracy in my Omega with 300g Nosler Partition HG bullets:

3x9 Bushnell Elite Rainguard Firefly scope. Your on a "journey" now and getting to ML compentence takes patience, dedication and practice, but it is so much more fun that CF shooting.
I buy bullets from MidSouth shooters supply and MidwayUsa. I buy powder local, so I don't have to pay he $20 fee for haz materials.
