Very new, put together a kit, haven’t fired it yet, need to know any tips that will keep me from blowing myself up. Any powder recommendations? It’s a .50 cal, percussion cap. Assembled it for a gunsmithing assignment.

First piece of advice I like to give new muzzleloader shooters is GO SLOW . Muzzleloaders are a different game than modern guns.
Black Powder Maniac and Bob McBride (Black Powder TV) on YouTube have some good beginner videos. Also, lots to learn on this forum.
