Got to shoot black powder in a muzzleloader for the first time this week. Didn't know anything about it but family member gave me an old rifle a while ago with a box of various supplies. I had a friend with just a little bit of experience help me. Used 85 grains of an unknown powder, sketchy, I know. But it was pretty cool. Just fun to go through the process of loading it. It's a Lyman .50 trade rifle. What kind of powder should I get when I run out? Just shooting for fun, not for power or hunting. Also when cleaning, it smells extremely sulfuric, and a question, how do you get a muzzleloader clean??? I feel like I just rammed a bunch of gunk down in the end of the barrel.
