How do you load a Traditions 50 cal bolt action mussel loader?
Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.
Where can you find a small rifleprimer nipple for a hammer type muzzle loader?
Rifle primers are generally not reccommended for muzzle loading firearms- the flame is not large enough to reliably ignite black powder or Pyrodex. There are nipples that use a #209 shotgun primer, and even then, it is reccommended that you use a primer intended for black powder. Check with Dixie Gun works for a nipple that will fit your rifle.

Should I use a .44 caliber round ball in a .45 caliber muzzle loader?
Typically a round ball .440 inches is used, together with a greased cloth patch about .015 inches in thickness. This results in a "squeeze" fit of the ball to the barrel. If you have a modern muzzle loader, we would urge you to contact the maker, and get the owner's manual for YOUR rifle- most are free, and available on line as a download. If you have an ORIGINAL muzzle loader, please do not attempt to shoot anything in it until a competent gunsmith has inspected it. And NEVER use anything but black powder (or a legitimate black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex) in a muzzleloader.
