    How do you carry pistols.

    I get holsters for each one. But then i cant find a holster for my Howdah Pistol ( shotgun lol) or my flint lock pistol. So for now i wrap then in a towel and put both in a 28 inch rifle bag. The bag has two place for two rifles. With a center divider so i put my 54 cal hawkins on one side...

    What charge for a flintlock pistol?

    Id do 40 grains to start. And work my way up to 60 maximum. For a 69 caliber or 66 caliber. Id go with 2f honestly. I use 2f in my howdawh pistol aka short barrel shotgun.. its 20ga or 61 caliber smooth bore. I use 60 grains of powder 2f or 3f if im out if 2f
