I only use it it volume metric old brass funnel barrell charger. I really don't like this powder. I just weighed it to see what the volume was. Curiosity. It's too thick too my liking. Got to find some good old fashioned sulphur smelling powder. From what I experienced today it appears to also be hard to ignite. I played around with Tmompson center in line and pyroxene pellets for one deer season but way too expensive. 100 round balls are less than $20.00. Pre lubed patches $5.00. I am a little concerned. It appears this rifle may have faster twist than I prefer. Still have old Kentucky flintlock but it's just a wall hanger now. Flash pan powder has let me down in damp weather too many times. Have plenty modern rifles but traditional shooting is just a lot of fun. Need to find better percussion rifle I guess. Notice the trigger on this one is operated by a spring which doesn't appear to be in best condition. Still biggest concern is the delay of firing and taking 4-5 caps to finally set it off.
