Hi all! New guy here, got my first cap lock about a month and a half ago. I recently put together a Traditions Kentucky rifle .50 cal kit. I know there are better out there but didn’t want to sink a lot of money into something I may not be very interested in.
My first question is to ask for any general tips and tricks the more experienced guys can give me to enhance my black powder experience. I also picked up or built from pieces these cap n ball revolvers
Pietta 1851 .36
Pietta 1851 .44
Uberti 1849 pocket
Uberti 1847 Walker
so any black powder advice is welcome!
My main question is about keeping my rifle clean, the cleaning kit I have for my cartridge guns is not suited well at all for this rifle. So...is there a good starter type cleaning kit anyone would recommend for my Kentucky Rifle? I would also be open to putting my own kit together if that would be a better option.
