Thanks for the warm welcome.
As I said totally new to muzzleloaders but recently inherited a couple of them and thought this might be a good place to learn.

Dixie gun works is one source

Dixie offers something called a Primer Nipple # NP1475.
Is the most desirable percussion cap a # 11 or 11M?

Look at their website as I believe they have restricted showroom hours and ordering perimeters
