Well, Carl, congratulations! Looks like the bug has bitten you good! Your at the right place to get the info you need so hang in there, you will be getting quite a bit of information soon! Worms are pretty necessary if you are using foil packets to contain your black powder, 'cause bits of the foil can remain in the barrel after firing, containing particles of smoldering powder. Not good when you go to reload! You need the swabs, sponges, rams, to clean and prepare your barrel for further shots, so look in the stickys for "how to" and make your own, or look at other sponsors for implements. BoomLover
