Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I'm always amazed at the support and helpful knowledge of this forum.

I have the caps already, a lot of them.

Can someone go into more detail as to what "pillow ticking" is?

Also, this "Old Zip patch lube" - I understand what it is but the exact function/purpose is....

Lastly, my "ramrod" is very old and wooden - it seems a little fragile.
I see dixiegun.com has two .58 Caliber rods but they seem to have different purposes?

and
http://www.dixiegunworks.com/product...oducts_id=1164

I suppose I don't understand the difference between the two.

I'll be sure to get the suggested literature and read up. I like to be well informed before I go in blind....
