    FFFFF priming powder?

    Roundball, it could well be that I was making some other dumb mistake. Hard to fix a problem that was so long ago. I probably shouldnt have bothered the group with it, but all this time I have thought it was the 5F maybe. I didnt realize how odd 5f was back then, and after I learned more I...

    FFFFF priming powder?

    I just read the thread, "alternatives to 4f" and learned a good bit. Maybe answered my own question. I just thought the 5F was wierd and obviously so rare, maybe it was a failed test? Sure didnt work for me, but I dont claim to know what makes a flintlock run good. Jeff

    FFFFF priming powder?

    Hi, I had a flintlock about 10 years ago, it was from cabelas, not sure of the brand, but I'm almost 100% sure it was a .58 I could never get it to set off the main charge. I think out of about 50 tries, it actually shot 3 times. The pan would flash most every time, but never set off the...

    Second stupidest thing...

    Thats awesome bdarin! Laughed my butt off. :: Your story is great too Cravin... :: But I have probably only shot my new Great Plains Rifle 20 times?, and have already caught myself starting a patched ball with no powder. (I was able to pull it out of the barrel by the patch, but it was close)...

    Hello from Colorado

    Thanks for the great welcome guys. I registered a month ago or so, then kinda forgot about this place. Now Im pretty excited about it though, seems like a very friendly bunch so far, and I have learned a lot already just browsing thru different areas. Great resource, hope I can help out. Jeff

    Pyrodex

    I use real 2f black for .45lc, 12g-shells, cap&ball pistols, my .54 muzzleloader, and my 12g muzzleloader. Unless... I dont have time to run to the one store in 50 miles that sells the stuff. Then I drive less than 2 miles, and park easily at Walmart or Sportsmans Warehouse, and get Pyrodex RS...

    Hello from Colorado

    Hello all, I am a cowboy action shooter, and have a blast with it, but I also have always loved muzzleloaders, and Rocky Mountain fur trade stuff. I recently bought a Lyman Great Plains Rifle, .54cal, which I think has instantly become my favorite gun, and some clothes from the Rocky Mountain...

    Loading a revolver from flask or powder measure?

    I have shot hundreds if not a thousand or so, rounds thru cap and ball revolvers. Every last one of them was loaded from a flask, with a pre-measured spout on it. Never gave the flask a second thought. To be honest, the only reason I use a powder horn to pour into a measure with my muzzle...
