T/C Hawken .54

[rlm]

I'm new to muzzleloading and just picked up a used .54 T/C Hawken. What are the best loads for it, I'll be hunting and target shooting with it. Which powder is best Goex, Pyrodex, etc., ball or maxi balls? Should I remove the breech plug, I know the manual says to take it to a gunsmith, any reason why? It would make cleaning a lot easier. A lot of questions so much to learn. Thanks for your help. Roger
