As I posted earlier, I just received by Traditions, 1851 Navy, in .44 cal. I know that among other things I need to get: a powder flask, balls eek, wads, caps, powder, replacement nipples (eventually) and wrench, leather (handled), and wedge tools (ie. punch/hammer or wedge tool?). I may have missed something or other, but I believe this covers most of it.
My first questions are these: What would be suggested for the nipple wrench(size, shape, etc.)? What size nipple does a Pietta normally take (standard, metric, size?).
Any help is appreciated.
