Default Newbie to Loose Powder

Hi all. I have been shooting muzzle loaders for quite a few years but I have always used pellets. With all this talk of BH209 I'm getting an itch to try it out. My only problem is I have no idea what to get or how to use it! I see flasks, powder measures, etc.

Since everyone in the BP forum has been so helpful in the past, could someone outline a few things I should pick up and how to measure the powder? I don't know if all loose powders are the same so will one measure be the same as another? How do you make sure all of the powder is seated near the breach? You know, all the basic stuff. LOL

I am using an Encore with a 50x209 barrel.

Thanks
