    Would this be safe?

    In search of a bargain I found Hornady #000 .350DIA Buckshot in a 5 lb bag. I know these are not pure lead but would they be safe to shoot in my .36 cal rifle. By my calculations they would be roughly $1.77/100. Thanks.

    Lead exposure

    I am new to BP and was wondering about the risk of lead exposure. Only information I found on the web were the two extremes, the shooting sports are all a huge toxic exposure and envirmentally unsound or wash your hands and all is safe. Anyone ever had their lead level checked. Thanks.. TLD.

    Round v. Square Patch

    I am about to start cutting out patches for my new .36 cal rifle. It seems that most precut patches are circles. It would be easier for me to cut squares. Any accuracy (or other) advantage to a round patch over a square patch? Thanks. TLD

    .36 cal powder suggestion

    I am new to the world of muzzleloading and have aquired a Hopkins and Allen .36 cal underhammer rifle. Do I use Pyrodex RS (since it is a rifle) or Pyrodex P (since it is small caliber)? Thanks.
