Default RE: wanna start muzzle loading

ORIGINAL: nap

I wanna start muzzle loading but i know very little about it. I don't know whats a good gun, what bullets to use, what scope, what i need to buy, and how its all done. can someone help me out.
Well since you don't know anything, I would choose an inexpensive rifle or a used rifle to get started, since you don't know if your going to get "into it". Look in your local want ads for a Knight, a CVA or a TC. If you wanna buy new, I would buy a Triumph, i would shoot 100g of Blackhorn and I woudl shoot a Barnes MZ 300g from that gun. To do some reading on what to buy see this:
