A couple of things...

1. Saturated windex patches - well kinda you saturated them and then press as much windex out of the pile as you can so they are just moist... Once you learn how to make them you do not even have to run a dry patch - the bore drys itself. But for now run a dry patch - especially if you hear mositure in the breech plug. If you do pop a primer before loading the next charge. Hint, listen to the air being expelled out of the BP as push the rod down.

2. Bullets - for now just get a box of Hornady 40 cal - 200 grain bullets and some Harvester blue crush ribs for them.

3. Bullets - or a box of Hornady 45/250 grain HP's and a package of Harvester Black 4550 Crush ribs. IMO - not the best hunting bullets in the worls but great paper bullets and they are not a $ a bullet. Get the gun working then worry about what you are going to shoot for hunting.

Good luck - your rifle will shoot PB's once you and it get to know each other... although I would not use PB for hunting either - they sold them to use along with pellets because most believe that is the easiest way to get you shooting....
