Beginning Blackpowder
I've been using an inline for several years with pretty good success. Now, I have an opportunity to acquire a .50 percussion cap muzzleloader. Trying to gather information on line but a lot of the sites are fragmented and don't do a good job differentiating between inline and percussion cap/flintlock weapons. Can anyone steer me toward some solid information on powder types, percussion caps, ball vs. conical bullets etc. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
