I just acquired my fathers older MK 85 50 cal (which hasn't been shot in about 10yrs).. I am really interested in getting equipped with everything I need b/c dad has misplaced his old possibles bag and cannot seem to remember exactly what all he used. Anyways, just curious on what all I need to buy to get started. Bullets, powder, caps, cleaning kits, tools, etc.. I appreciate y'all's help. Thanks

I'm assuming you got going by now since this post is about a month old. I can send you a soft copy owners manual if you need one, post up your email. That will have a great outline of your gun for you, from shooting to cleaning.

just remember the golden rule of muzzleloaders "IF YOU SHOOT IT , YOU CLEAN IT!!" AND BE SURE TO USE BREECH PLUG GREASE TO PREVENT SEIZE UP. GUY
