Whatever the powder is, if the label can't be read, DON'T USE IT. Chances are it is too old anyway.

You definately need to look up owners manuals online and print them out for reading a referring back to. There are also videos that you can find that show the procedure.

As stated, sabots (the ones with the plastic sleeve) do not nead lube. Most full bore conicals do need lube but many of them come with lube already on them, so look for that.

I would also recommend that you find someone in your area that shoots and ask if you could get a shooting lesson.

Getting distracted while loading a muzzleloader is dangerous. Even seasoned shooters have double loaded powder or bullets and that can have disastrous results. Not meaning to scare you, it is definately worth it, but be careful and develop a system that you do the same way every time.
