Just purchased a muzzleloader and was hoping I could get some "tricks of the trade" advise on:

- Assessories/tools I might need to make muzzleloading more enjoyable?

- Recommended beginners bullet and powder information. Where to start? (I purchased a Knight .50 cal)

- How do you prep for entry into your hunting woods? Shoot primers to dry the barrel? What muzzleloading gear do you pack?

Any additional basic information would be appreciated.
