Default New Member Advice

I have recently (ordered my first ML yesterday) decided to take up the sport of muzzleoading. I have been an avidarchery hunter for the past 15 years and decided I was ready for a change. Due to regulations in my state, I decided to buy the Knight Bighorn SS thumbhole in .50 cal. From allmy research, this seemed like a winner.As far as bullets go,I can use ballistic tip however they cannot be jacketed. I was wondering what would be agood bullet to start with (powerbelt aerotip?). Also, is Triple 7 pellets the standard or regularpyrodex pellets? Should I use #11, magnum #11, or musket ignition? Lastly, I understand that most accurate loads are abtained usingbetween 90-100 grains. Is thiscorrect? Sorry about so many questions, like I said I amnew and would like to get as much info as possible before buying supplies.Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Marc
