Many years ago my Dad bought me a CVA percussion cap muzzle loader for deer hunting. I shot it 7 times on the range one day, and once to kill a doe years and years ago, and it's been in the safe since.
I'd like to take it out to the range soon. I've got some .50 balls, and all the peripherials, but I have no idea what I need for powder. Pyrodex? Can I even get real black powder? How do I know how much to use?
I really just want to make a bunch of smoke and noise, and if I hit anything, that's cool too.
