Low Maintenance Milestone for Flint Life Milestone...

[roundball]

Sounds like the way I've been going.
I'll NOT tell you how many shot I've gotten from flints this way.
I've heard of folks getting 80-120 from the same flint and how that's great. If I mentioned what I've come to honestly expect they'd say I was full of the Blarney (or something to that effect).
I now measure flint life by how many pounds of powder per flint. Easy math since I have a good idea of how many shots I get to the pound, of course this is not including strikes with out powder and ball for dry practice.
Expect "nay-sayers" with your tally. :grin:

FYI, I started a new 3/4" BEF for yesterday's 50 shot session and never touched it...humidity was down so it and the frizzen stayed clean...never bothered to wipe the frizen or flint, much less knapp it...

How many pounds of powder DO you get from a flint?

I've been well into my 4th pound on flints a few times using 110 gr. loads. Can't seem to get to #5 though.
