Ok so I've been reading around, and I've found alot of info that Will help me. I just kind of thought I would put this out there and see if I had missed anything important.
I'm getting a 1851 Navy colt replica from Cabela's for christmas from my mom, I didn't pick the weapon, she just thought it was a good mix of my passions for firearms and mid-1800's history. It's a kit weapon including everything but caps and powder. I have shot black pwder weapons before, but very little. I have only loaded one once(and it was a rifle). While I am confident I would do ok, I figure it's best to get advice from experienced persons.
My main questions are these:
What kind of powder should I get?(any good sources for said powder?)
Do I need anything besides what's in this kit?(especially cleaning supplies, I already have the standard modern firearms equipment)
Here's the link to the kit to help:
