There are a number of excellent resources available. Sam Fadala and Toby Bridges are two acknowledged experts on all things muzzle loading. I lean towards Mr. Fadala, just because I like his style, but both are outstanding. I have some very dog eared copies of their respective muzzle loading reference books.

Either of these will give you everything you need to know.
