Check ✔️Powder Patch Ball Flint.
Thanks 👍Look up Bob's Black Powder Notebook, wealth of info on the flinter
I use black. I only use Pyrodex-P in my Crockett.Black powder, substitutes don’t work well.
That’s how I ended up with a tiny engraving hammer that cost $45.00 (plus shipping) 🥴Just done did the same thing. My advice is to go shooting with an old guy that’s been doing it for years, pay attention, and do what he does. In a short time you will have your own routine including the tools and things that work for you. Oh, never, never dwell on the cost of accessories………just push the send button 😁
Everyone has different preferences when it comes to how much powder you use compared to what’s recommended. Start out light taking a few shots with each powder load. Then work your way up until you get to a powder load you’re happy with and is accurate. You’ll be having tight groupings at 100 yards without a sore shoulder the next day in no time!Been pussyfootin around getting a flintlock. Today I finally took the plunge. Found a deal on a barely used Lyman GPR in 50. Any tips, or ideas on the must haves would be greatly appreciated.
