If you want to shoot BP you can get a ton of info in a book by Paul Matthews. Black Powder has a lot of problems with fowling you need to deal with this if you are going to shoot any amount of rounds. Straight BP will cause accuracy problems in a few shots unless you find a way to keep the build up soft. Matthews goes into several solutions to this problem. The Book is Loading the Black Powder Rifle Cartridge. I shoot duplex loads as described in this book and find them to be very clean with little buildup. Good luck and make sure you read the section on brass cleaning. I all most forgot to mention he has a good bit of info on BP substitute loads.
