There are a number of interesting questions asked about muzzleloaders. Some of these can be methodically studied, and some are solely a matter of "Art".

This web page is devoted to black-powder and muzzleloading experiments and topics related to the physics of black powder shooting. A number of people, both past and present, have looked at these, but I couldn't resist some tinkering of my own. I will include both data of my own and links to other experimeter's sites.
