www.crazycrow.com or www.cabelas.com or www.trackofthewolf.com for your accessories. If you're shooting inline I'd go to Cabela's site. Where to start...I'd buy the "Lyman Black Powder Handbook&Loading Manual". A wealth of info for you right there in black and white. When I prep to go into the woods...dry patch the barrel real well...remove nipple and cleanout screw to run pipe cleaner thru both. Load and go. Some fire a cap or two, I never do doing it the way I stated. What gear do I pack...possibles bag and powder horn normally. Bag has nipple wrench, nipple pick, cleaning jag, patch's, a little bottle of glass cleaner with vinegar, capper full of caps, small tin of caps inserted in the "Quick Seals" for nasty weather, bullets or balls and a starter. Powder measure and funnel. Seems like thats about it.
