Amen.I load and prime from the horn. FF.
I made a dohicky with the spring loaded plunger out of a 50 BMG case and soldered a lanyard into the primer pocket. Not by any stretch of the imagination authentic but sure looks cool and the taper of the case makes it work like a dream !This is a very basic question. When shooting a flintlock rifle, at the range or on a hunt, how do you prefer to prime?
From your main horn or flask (yes, I know that is dangerous)?
From a small priming flask?
From a priming do-hicky that discharges 4 grains (is that enough or do you have to pump it 4 times)?
From a flask into a priming measure and into the pan?
Those are neat . Ive never used them much but last December , Ken Netting sent me one real similar to these . He made it and sent it as a birthday / Christmas present for me ...darn nice of him....its really neat . See if I can find a pic ...
Those are really cool. My luck I'd wind up with a pocket full of powder though. If I could figure out how to keep it handy and safe from accidentally emptying it I'd definitely like one of those. I worry about the other push style brass doodad thigymajig too.Those are neat . Ive never used them much but last December , Ken Netting sent me one real similar to these .

That's a good idea.Primer will work better with end filed at a 45 degree angle. Also designed for 4F.
