Howdy folks

I was given an old CVA Hawkens the other day and caught the bug. Problem is I don't know anything about black powder guns.

This gun is a 50 cal.

I don't even know what bullet to shoot, balls or a bullet shaped projectile.

Would anyone be so generous as to start me on my way...What powder?

Primers?

Cleaning stuff...I can likely figure this out

Bullet type , weight , Powder charge weight

I have been around guns , own a few and hunt regularly, I'm not a city boy and learn fast.

Hoping to be ready for Elk next year.

Thanks
