Went to my first sanctioned shoot years ago and wasn’t allowed to shoot because the NMLRA records indicated I wasn’t a member, and all I had was a copy of the check they cashed. They had failed to send me a membership card and said I needed to join again to shoot. I did not pay again and the folks in Friendship never figured out how they messed up my membership. At some point they stopped sanctioning this particular shoot, but I have not been in that part of the country again, nor attended a NMLRA event since.Nope, just following the NMLRA rules.
Got a problem with that at sanctioned shoots?

I'm very new to flintlocks and with the cost of powder id like to keep my priming charge as low as possible. Im shooting a Pedersoli brown bess
My SMR likes a thin line as well. 1.5-2 grains of 4F seems very reliable and produces less flash/smoke at the lock..Less is best... most folks use too much priming powder, just a thin line away from the flash hole works for me in any of my flintlocks.
I shoot two different flintlocks for both matches and hunting . I just fill the priming pan with 4f from a brass priming dispenser. How frugal can you be? It takes me a looong time to burn through a pound of 4f powder!!I'm very new to flintlocks and with the cost of powder id like to keep my priming charge as low as possible.

Guns need to be treated safelyI use to work in a world where folks get hurt, injured and killed.
Every safety rule in the books stems from someone getting injured or killed, pure and simple.
We had a rule at work, no finger rings. Folks would say that is stupid. One of of our employees lost a finger when one of his rings was caught in a piece of machinery. That caused a new safety rule, no finger rings while working.
Each time a person was killed an investigation was held to determine what caused the person's death. After the investigation was complete, most times a new safety rule or rules would be the result to stop future deaths.
If you chose to do unsafe practices, that is your choice and I will not be shooting next to you.
Complete fallacy.Every safety rule in the books stems from someone getting injured or killed, pure and simple.
To correctly prime, you need an injector (a small horn generally with a pump). So the Sacrosanctities MLAIC (the only rules accepted in communist lands like mine and some others) accept the small horn to prime. You can't use the big one in the match (principal load-only tubes pre-loads), but everybody uses the small one with generally 4Fg inside for priming. Priming is the last operation just before shooting. The feather is in the vent, and the frizzen is open, so where is the risk?I'm very new to flintlocks and with the cost of powder id like to keep my priming charge as low as possible.

I have to agree with this. In my over 65 years working in both the public and private sector's, I have seen rules made by bureaucrats, who need to justify their positions, and have very little to do with worker safety.Complete fallacy.

Oh bull sheit."I prime from a main horn"

The safest option is to stay in your home and keep door and window lockedWhat is the safe and correct way to prime a flintlock pan?
Obviously, a brass pan charging flask with a spring loaded measuring feature would be out, with powder being a closed brass container. A smaller priming horn is still a horn, another no go. So what is the best safe option?
