Traditions tools are good , that' s what would be in your kit if you buy their guns . For the projectile check the rate of twist , make sure it' s appropriate to the bullet you plan to use . As I posted earlier most flintys can' t use pellets , although the Traditions Pa Pellet is designed for them . It' s about as high as the Lyman in price from my recollection . The Deer Hunter is a good choice , I think it has a 1 in 48" twist to accomodate all bullets .
