Hi All,
Well, after about ten evenings of filing, sanding, staining and oiling, my Pedersoli Bess kit is finally complete. The only thing I messed up was to oversand the wrist area, and I had to use a little wood filler to fill the gap between the stock and wrist inlay (oops). The stock has some really nice figure, with a lot of "flaming" in the forearm. It's still tacky from all the walnut stain I've been rubbing into it, but I'm determined to shoot it this weekend.
My question is this: I only have a little 2F powder left, but I have a lot of 4F. Would it be safe to fire a few loads (blanks and patched .715 round balls) with a main charge of 4F?
Thanks,
Brewer
