I've hunted a bit with muzzle loaders. Some suggestions:
- Be careful using toilet paper if it's dry out, it seems to work okay as wadding but after firing you'll have flaming bits of toilet paper dropping all over the field in front of you.
- I use Circle Fly wads, but rather then purchasing separate over-shot wads I take my finger nail and split the over-powder wades into two or three thin wads for use as over-shot wads.
- Make sure you have a jag on the end of your ramrod for removing unfired loads and infield maintenance (like when you realize you've loaded both loads of shot into one barrel, or worse yet both loads of powder into one barrels, oops... hard to get it out safely without a jag).
Anyhow, ML's are alot of fun, I hope you have a great time with yours.
