RE: how many shots do you take
I keep a range bag that holds all my b/l stuff
powder
bullets hammers
flints
jags
patches powder
you name it is in it
I hate to go to the range and if something breaks I have a ton of spare parts for a easy fix:I always seem to lend some stuff to guys who don't come prepared The bag never changes
I also tag it along when hunting hate to make a trip upstate and forget something:I only carry 3 speed loaders of powder and 3 round balls into the woods and a extra flint:I have my flinte primer haging on a rope that stay on my neck:I also use a frizzen stall and keep the frizzen cover until I am going to shoot it seem a flinter has no safety and with the powder pan loaded anything can happen.
