I bought a black powder pistol kit awhile back and finally put it together the other day. There are no instructions on how to load it in the kit.
It is a double barrel .36 caliber Terrible Twister. I bought some .36 caliber lead balls, some #10 percussion caps, a jug of Pyrodex and some .015 wadding. I also bought a little measuring device that measures the grains of powder.
I have only shot a bp firearm once before and it was loaded for me. Can I get some advice on how to load it?
Also is newspaper a sufficient wadding or should I stick with the patches I bought?
