Two major pieces of wisdom in this thread:
From Bigdave: "one thing i have learned is that in muzzleloading everyone does something different"
and from Redleaf: " Develop a loading regime that's easy to do consistently and go at it"
There is no real right or wrong in shooting muzzleloaders, there is only what works for you and what does not. I always hesitate to tell folks how I do things, since they work well for me, but some go against the norm.
Best advice I can give is spend enough time to find out what works for you and then do it exactly the same way everytime.
