i decided to buy an entry-level used inline muzzleloader because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and now I’m realizing I don’t know what I don’t know etc.
It’s a Traditions .50 cal model made in Spain with a 1 in 32” twist. The guy I bought it from knows nothing about it. There is no model name on it but it looks similar to the Tracker or Buckhunter — it has a bolt rather than a break open action. Nothing came with the gun, so I’ve ordered a breech plug wrench and cleaning kit. Everything appears clean-ish, but I can’t get the breech cap off yet, though I haven’t tried too hard.
In the meantime, is there a way I can find out which caps or primers I’m supposed to use? How much does it matter? Any insights would be welcome.
