I assume that you are shooting at the Ft. Bliss Rod and Gun Club. The Rio Grand Muzzleloaders shoot there twice a month. There are quite a few very knowledgeable and good shooters there. I believe they have fliers posted at the club. It may be worth your while to check them out.

That would be fantastic if I did. I'm in hill country at Ft hood, which is most of a days drive away. I did meet a fellow on this forum who is from my area and we plan to start shooting together shortly.

I have had decent success with coconut oil for patch lube.  The patches I used yesterday were .020 pillow ticking soaked in coconut oil with a .490 ball in my .50.  My load was 80gr of Pyrodex RS and was minute of deer which is all I'm looking for in the cap gun.

M1, sorry somehow I got the impression you were at Ft. Bliss.
