Default RE: FPBs with BH 209

I've picked up a total of 5 packs of FPB's at $9 each from WM so far. That gives me around 8 packs in my bullet bag. If they drop the price a little more I will pick up the rest of what they have. I plan on doing some more testing with BH209 and FPB's in several rifles in the coming months.

I've had OK luck with it in my White using musket caps but get the occasional hang/non fire. I can get instant ignition by adding a pinch of 777 or Pyro but I'm going to try adding a small amount of 4F priming powder from my pan charger before dropping the BH in to see if that works, my logic is the pan charger is easier to carry and use than the other powders in the field. My other guns have 209 ignition so they work fine. Let the testing begin.
