My tips for muzzle loading
On long shots is to try to shoot when the animal is looking away from you, a deer can react to the smoke and flash before the bullet gets there spoiling your shot.
If leaving your gun loaded for a long period of time use an over powder wad to avoid the lube from a patched ball contaminating the powder.
As cat said pressure on the loading rod is important for accuracy, a heavy bullet is much better for hunting than a round ball.
Thoroughly clean your gun after each shooting session rust is your enemy, no exceptions!
