This is the first time I've posted in this forum and I'm completely new to blackpowder firearms. I just picked up a Lyman .44 percussion pistol from my Grandpa. He built it from a kit around 25 years ago and it sat in a drawer wrapped in a blanket unfired until I talked him out of it.. I know the barrel needs to be browned to be correct. That will be accomplished soon... I want to shoot blackpowder out of it and not any of the substitutes.. I just picked up some roundballs today... What else do I need to get started (beyond powder)?? What is the powder grain range for this pistol? Good sources for black power shooting supplies?? Thanks for the help!!!
