A few months ago I inherited a 12 gauge CVA muzzleloader that I would like to try and hunt with. One thing I would like to do is keep my accessories period correct if possible. I have a small copper flask with a couple of different tubes that meter the appropriate amount of powder for cap and ball revolvers and I have a powder horn made from a cow horn. I don't think either of those is correct. Were powder and shot carried in bags and was a possibles bag used? Does this gun accurately replicate one from a particular period or is in somewhat generic in styling. Lastly, is there a substitute propellant that is cleaner and less corrosive than black? I know they have advanced some in the thirty years since this gun was made. In the owner's manual it specifies that only ffg black should be used but at that time there was no pyrodex or other substitutes available. I believe the intent was that smokeless can't be used. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
