yes cayugad...definently thought about possible ignitions...i believe he told me he made something like a pill crusher to do it...a little "bowl" with another seperate "rod" with a curved end to do the grinding.

let me know when you try the duplex loads...i thought about buying some pyrodex or triple seven to test out when it goes on sale at walmart to do the same...but never got around to it..mainly because all i do is hunt with my flinter and thats kind of a pain to reload in a hurry...

HEAD...who makes 7f powder??? smallest ive heard of and found was 4fg. a guy that taught me the rope of shooting my flinter said he hasnt hunted with his in years and gave me a bit over a half pound of 4fg goex. the passed 5 years i went though a little bit of it. i used to shoot a good bit and also hunting season i have to fill my large priming flask about once every 2-3 hunts depending on weather. im cautious and sweep the pan pretty often. i rather KNOW my guns gunna go boom then take a chance...i know guys that KEEP their priming charge and reuse it if they dont fire their guns. to me thats not too bright...says he cant find 4fg..i offered him some and he declined. told him a bunch of shops that carry it..heck some places here sell it in a small container because theres an actual flintlock season in PA
