FFF is all I use as a main charge, and have for several years, because a skirmisher friend got me a huge sack of it at the nationals. He told me most there use FFF but cut back the main charge, which I do as well.
Long before the interweb days, when I was a downtrodden youth, (that's PC for poor), I had a flintlock for a short time and it came with a # of FFFF. I sold the flinter but kept the powder, and with no one to tell me different started using it as a main charge in my cap 45 rifle. Both the rifle and I survived using 60gr FFFF. Am I saying to use it as a main charge...NO...but relating what I did in my misspent youth.
One of these days when I finish my early Lancaster I plan to use FFF as a prime and main, but that's me. I also like Redheaded wimmen and ford trucks, so I guess I'm weird.
