Hey there.

Got a Pedersoli percussion cap rifle on the way shortly in .577, (P53 Enfield 3 band), as well as .577 bullet molds.

Looking to get my hands on some of the basic shooting supplies, Powder flasks, measures, starting rods, etc. Whats the best place to go to here in Canada? Or would I be better off ordering from US sources?

Thanks a ton.
 
Track of the Wolf out of the States. I buy all my stuff and parts through them. Barring the odd buy from friends. The have everything you’ll need.
 
Another recommendation for Hillfolk Musket Supplies, Senlac, SK
Doug and Becky Middleton 306-228-2949.

They are Gun Show traders in the West, and deal from their home farm. You could not ask for nicer people.
Becky can get about anything Black Powder.
 
Thanks everyone for the quick replies!

What would you all suggest I get as far as absolute essentials for my rifle? I have an idea but I want to make sure there isn't anything I miss on my order.
 
Find a fiber seating rod...leave the wood one that will come with the gun in the brass holders for looks.

Not really an "order" thing but you should start to build a supply of casting lead of the "pure" variety, in some areas "pure" can be hard to find.
 
i would get a delrin ramrod, several inches longer than your bore. range rods are great but when im out in the woods i carry a delrin rod which is lighter, pretty much unbreakable, and because mine is meant for a smaller caliber than what im shooting (im shooting .45, i have no idea what caliber my rid is for but its smaller) it is almost impossible to get it stuck in the bore. it has several tools cleverly hidden in the rod for fishing out ball and patch, threading on your various tools and so on. you can buy them at october country in the states

an adjustable measure is a must for working up loads, after that if you want to move to a fixed measure or a spout thats up to you. obviously you need patch ball and powder, what kind and thickness/diameter you have to figure out, i like the oxyoke pre lubed patches but i have also found using 7 parts ballistol 1 part water as a mixture to lube my own patches works well but there are plenty of other methods, id keep it simple and experiment as you go

id buy a ted cash cap holder, either the oval one or the snail capper, trying to fiddle with caps with your bare hands is a pain

if you are going to be out in the woods a lot get a possibles bag, i got mine here https://www.accu-riser.com/categories/Muzzleloading-Possibles-Bags-%2d-Hunting-bags/ and its amazing but track of the wolf is another great source.

last id recommend a brass powder flask with the cross bolt style dispenser not the thumb lever with the wrap around spring, they both work but i think the cross bolt is a more robust design.

don't waste money on fancy solvents, hot water with some soap does the truck every time
