Default RE: 100 yards with the flinter

ORIGINAL: eldeguello

T7 in a flintlock-what do you use for a priming charge in the barrel? A small amount of actual BP? How much?? What granulation?
I was dumping 10 grains of Goex 4f first down the barrel. I then tapped it level, then dumped in the Triple Se7en. Also I used Goex 4f as the priming charge. Ignition was as fast as with straight Goex, powder was excellent, and the barrel did not fowl up very bad at all.

I want to play some more with this duplexing. I can see just getting some Goex 4f and shooting. But I want to try it in cold weather, damp weather, etc. Sure would make things handy for shooting.

If you have the opportunity to try that duplexing eldeguello, I wish you would as I value your opinion on this stuff a great deal and would really like to read your impressions of this idea. Frontier Gander might have got mestarted on a whole new kick with this.
