You know how such fast ignition dont ya ? I learned from Mr. Know it all D%# Sh#+ here on the Forum . Its all in how you prime your flintlock ! I mixed 2F and 4F , one Elephant and one Goex , I used a brass spring loaded primer mechanism to lay out exactly 2.3 1/2 grams of powder in the pan .... I separated the line of priming powder in the pan , making two exactly same sized lines with a parting between the two from touch hole to end of pan , then I used a tooth pick , the flat one , dont use the round ones , and made both lines into a zig zag been t without touching each other , dont let them touch ! Then ...using a flat , but end cut off tooth pic , I pushed the priming powder away from the touch hole exactly 1.25 mm and made a tiny little mound . That bump MUST be exactly .85 mm high , width doesnt matter but it can not touch the zag lines ! No connection at all ! Then you must sprinkle 1/10 a gram of pulverized golden rod root on top of the priming powder , dont use any more or less ! and you can't use fresh ...the golden rod root must be season from at least last years batch... Then slowly close the pan while reciting the pledge of allegiance backwards , leaving out any words that start with F ....then ....your ready to shoot ! Easy peazy !! Try not to move the firearm much until after you've fired though !!
