New Flintlock Need FFFFg powder

[MTFURY]

Anybody know of a place selling FFFFg blackpowder Just bought a flintlock (first one ever) and I need a lb of ffffg powder

No you dont. For the pan you can use the same powder as you have for the main charge.

 

[MTFURY]

Didn't know that. Always heard you needed 4f and 3f in the barrel

 

[Sidney Smith]

Hell No. I use 3fg as the charge, and primer in my .32 caliber. Instant ignition.

 

[Rock Home Isle]

I think its called Graph & Sons?

Try there...

Trust us. If you have 3f you are all set. What caliber is it?

I forget the gentleman's name, but he did a fairly thorough test several years ago between 4F, 3F, and 2F (both GOEX and Swiss).
The difference between 4F vs 3F in the pan is literally just a few milliseconds.

45 CVA

I'f your firearm works properly you don't need FFFFG, I've been using FFG for the last 25 years to prime.

I have 2 1/2 cans of 4f in a cabinet. Once I was told to just use the 3f that was it.

The only reason I've used 4fg is I was duped into believing that I had to. The old timers used the same powder in the pan as they used in the bore. I use 3fg all round now.

 

[MTFURY]

Thanks for all the info, I just ordered 3f from Graf and Sons

 

[Rock Home Isle]

Good job....

 

[Johnny Tremain]

I tired 3f in the pan, got hang fires. Hugs the 2 cans of 4f.

 

[Rock Home Isle]

I use fffg and ffffg in the pan...no problems.

A guy at the range last year gave me a can of 7fg (fffffffg)...that stuff is awesome.

I'll cry when its gone; CUZ YOU CAN"T GET IT ANYMORE

Is 7fg so fine, it’s nearly invisible?

It looks like dust...pours like a liquid and ignites like insanity.

Just use 3F for priming and the main charge and you will be fine.
