Everything is done by volume. With one dipper you can measure both powder and shot.



You can also find old patch cutters so you can cut your own wads.



You have already been given good advice. Mop the bore, make sure there is no percussion cap on the nipple. I load powder, wad, shot and over shot card.

This is not rapid fire and you are going to welcome that, because those barrels can get very hot.
