Book Recommendations: Traditional and Modern Muzzleloading

[earlthegoat2]

Looking for one or two books that cover all things muzzleloading to expand my knowledge a bit and most likely serve as a primer for a couple of purchases which will be an old school style and modern inline muzzleloader.

Barrel lengths, rifling twists, projectiles, propellants, theory, construction, etc.

I am not looking to build one....yet..... but I understand a book like that could help but Im just not to that point yet. And besides, I already have the Gunsmith of Grenville.....which I need to open here someday.

Many thanks.

I have the one by Sam Fadala... "Black Powder Handbook" or something like that. A very good first blackpowder book.

Get a 1975 1st Edition of the "Black Powder Handbook" and be blown away by the info provided when lawyers are not involved.
You'll find interesting things such as FFFFg revolvers loads.
