To the Muzzleloaders:

Been shooting and reloading for over 40 years. Almost exclusively at ranges. Indoor at first, then outdoor.

About 8 years ago I moved to a farm just south of the Georgia line.

Have never shot a muzzleloader before.

A friend recently gave me a gen 3 colt 1851. I also ordered a Pietta 1851 from Natchez and a Traditions Deerhunter from Battlehawk Armory. Neither have arrived yet.

Another friend gave me 3 tins of cci#11 magnum caps, a pound of pyrodex P and 2 pounds of RS, and around 100 .375 Hornady round balls.

I somehow had a box of .490 ball in my lead pile.

Ordered a Lee .380 82 grain round ball mold and a paper cart kit from guns of the west dude.

Been reading a bunch. Mostly on this site.

Now shopping for a screwdriver set and a 3/8 punch. LOL.

Guessing you guys are not budget friendly.

I look forward to one day adding something but for now...Cheers!

Sincerely,

Wheelman
 
Welcome from Central Florida. I always stop in Monticello on my way hunting to get chicken gizzards at the local chicken place there. Lol. It’s a nice town.
