Which muzzleloader?

Doesn't the manual list that info? Most vendors have them available online if you dont get one for some reason.

So do you actually sell pixel gold to online gamers? People actually by that stuff instead of earning it in game?

If you are shooting a Knight the barrel will give you a good starting point. A twenty two inch barrel will effectively shoot and burn a hundred grains by volume. 24 to 26 you can burn up to 150 grains by volume. Just because your gun will shoot a150 grains doesn't mean it will do it accurately. I would start out at 90 to 110 in three shot groups. Good luck
