Im new to this forum and new to blackpowder rifles. I just had given to me a traditions mountaineer .50. It was kinda rough but I took it apart and cleaned it thoroughly. It has a 1 /48 twist and probably needs a new nipple. What's the best powder and how many grains, best primer, and best bullet for this gun for whitetail deer at a maximum 100yds?
