With the muzzle pointed up, measure a charge of gunpowder, pour it down the barrel. Bump the butt to settle the powder. Place a greased cloth patch over muzzle, place ball on patch, press in with ball starter, then ram all the way down with ramrod. REMOVE RAMROD FROM BARREL. You can now place percussion cap on nipple, or priming powder in pan.
Bear the load. Bare the load would be to uncover the load...
sudden load differ from impact load by the velocity of loading
I think there are 4 types of load cells they are Pancake Load CellS ,Beam Load CellLoad, ButtonSingle and Point Load Cell.
dead load and live load dead load is the load of weight that is on the floor that is part of the construction of the house live load is the weight you add to it as in people furniture etc,
sustained load expansion load occasional load Load COMBINATION sus+exp=opn sus+ occasional and load combinations need not be done is sus+exp+occasional

The maximum load for a Knight MK85 muzzleloader typically depends on the specific caliber and the type of powder used. Generally, it is recommended to use a maximum of 150 grains of loose black powder or an equivalent amount of modern smokeless powder, depending on the manufacturer's guidelines. Always refer to the specific owner's manual and safety recommendations for the exact load limits to ensure safe operation.
To load a 12 gauge muzzleloader, first ensure the firearm is pointed in a safe direction. Begin by using a cleaning rod to ensure the barrel is free of obstructions. Then, pour the appropriate amount of black powder into the barrel, followed by a wad to contain the powder. Finally, insert the shot or slugs, tamp them down gently with a ramrod, and ensure the muzzleloader is capped or primed before firing.
They are called muzzleloaders simply because the powder and bullet are loaded from the muzzle end of the gun, Here is a page from WIKIpedia that may help answer.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzleloader
One way, and the simplest, is to look on the barrel , if the weapon says"BlackPowder Only", it is not an original. Otherwise the blue book of muzzleloader values is a good place to start.

That depends on the make and model.
A traditional inline muzzleloader can be equipped with a mechanical safety. This safety feature helps prevent accidental discharge of the firearm by blocking the firing mechanism until the shooter is ready to fire.
The muzzle velocity of a .50 caliber muzzleloader typically ranges from about 1,600 to 2,000 feet per second, depending on the specific load and type of powder used. Factors such as bullet weight, barrel length, and type of projectile can also influence the velocity. Generally, this range provides adequate power and accuracy for hunting and target shooting. Always refer to specific manufacturer data for precise measurements.
The longest shot with a muzzleloader is often attributed to a record set by a shooter named Bob R. B. "Duke" Hanner in 2017, who successfully hit a target at a distance of 2,300 yards (approximately 1.3 miles). This remarkable feat was accomplished using a custom-made muzzleloader and specialized ammunition. Muzzleloader shooting typically emphasizes accuracy and skill, making such long-distance shots particularly challenging and impressive.
