When I first started into muzzleloading, I picked up a video at the local Wal-Mart that was titled "Successful Muzzleloading" with O'Neill Williams. It featured CVA products throughout the video and even if you don't own a CVA product which I don't, the info in the video still applies to all brands of ML's. I would highly recommend a video like this to anyone just getting started into muzzleloading, it will save you a lot of time and money!
