what Zonie said ... but i wouldn't restrict yourself to only cotton patches - linen is OK, too - just
don't use anything with a synthetic fiber (i.e. poly/cotton blend, nylon, rayon etc.) because it will melt as it goes down the bore when you fire, leaving a terrible mess (please don't ask how i know)

you'll need something to transfer the powder from the can to the measuring device. this little gadget from Track of the Wolf may prove useful:

you don't actually need something like a powder horn (forgive me, oh keeper-of-gadgets), but they are convenient and they look cool. I use this measure, which is adjustable:

whatever you do, don't pour from the flask or horn directly into the barrel ... even the smallest ember can set off the charge, which will then set off the contents of the container, which is very close to your hands, eyes, and other of you favorite body parts. not trying to sound like a downer, but you're supposed to have fun, not get hurt.
you can use the ramrod which came with the rifle, but you might want to consider a 'wiping stick' (also called a range rod) ... this will be longer than the ramrod in the rifle, which makes cleaning easier. it need not be fancy; just make sure you get one of the appropriate diameter ... in the same light, you may want to consider a 'short starter' such as this one:

don't feel compelled to use track of the wolf for this stuff... there are any one of a number of good suppliers out there- i just use these as an example because Track's photos are very good and their site is easy to navigate.
you don't need FFFFg powder to prime ... this is (in my opinion) something of an urban legend, and has been perpetrated by armchair theoriticians; for now, go with the powder you use for the main charge, and you'll do fine. then, later, if you're curious to the point where you want to spend the money for a can of powdere you may take decades to use up (remember, you only use maybe ten or fifteen grains of powder in the priming pan, and most pan primers throw a three or five grain charge ... seven thousand grains to a pound makes over 450 shots, even if you prime with 15 grains, which is pretty heavy).
hope this helps ... by the way, i wish this forum had been in existence when i started shooting ... woulda save a ton of frustration and time wasted and money i could have spent on other stuff.
good luck with your new rifle, and make good smoke!
