Thank you all,

Very good information. I am a regular cartridge plinker, but a newbie to flintlocks. I have gotten the Hawken to ignite the pan and a blank charge, but was hesitant to load a ball. As an RO at my local range, I was afraid to have my shift cut short and be sent home with a loaded muzzleloader. So I have a ball puller on the way. Thanks again.
