With all of the regs up there I'm surprised you guys like cap guns. with my flinter I jut have find a rock that sparks and will fit my lock. As for powder there are plenty of videos on how to make it. There is one guy who uses toilet paper for charcoal, and according to his chrono gets better performance than using Swiss.

Well, up until the spring we could get black powder without....but I guess too many idiots found that out and were using to blow manure up, so the Natural Resources folks decided you need either a PAL, an Explosives permit or a Municipal Exemption form to get black. Hence the need to do that again.
 
Rough night last night. Having a smoke at two in the morning and heard something around the corner of the garage. Didn't investigate as I figured I knew what it was. Sure enough this was left.

Fairly common to have them wander into the neighborhood.
 
I'll let you know what they are when I order up some (once I get my PAL again...didn't need it forever and a day for flinters, now we do for powder...sheesh).

Last time I was digging, Schutzen was the only one folks had stock of. Considering I've got a little original Goex left, that might not be a bad thing for me (I hear the performance is fairly similar). Swiss sounds interesting, but if we can't get it consistently, then... :/

Yeh but you can’t buy the ingredients up hear any more and I’m not sure if you can have them shipped.Thanks to our liberals
 
OU, if I scrounge up a few more dollars, I may grab that Schutzen (2F, right?) and more lead from you ( though I may have to save up for that fowler ;) )

As for me, tonight I did a swack of .58 cal rb (close to 160 ladled out ladled, though I got some lead in the "seal" of my barrel mold, so I lost about 10% in my qa/qc work....will have to clean it out and re-soot it afterwards). Definitely something to be said about casting your own...consistency! I'm hitting 275+/-1 grains on my rb's (.569 as I like thicker patching with slower twists).
