One last question, but it pertains to flintlock shooting technique in general rather than to the Lyman Great Plains rifle in particular: how much 4f blackpowder goes in the flash pan?

Related to that, are there measuring devices that will give you a charge of the right amount of powder for the flash pan based on volume?

Also, will blackpowder substitutes work in a blackpowder rifle? That is, does Pyrodex become ignited from a flashpan ignition? Will Pyrodex and other substitutes work in the flashpan itself?

Thanks.
