Black MZ powder works much better when heavily compressed. Says so right on the bottle. i put a furniture knob on the ramrod and push hard as possible.

If you're having misfires with a sidelock gun do the following:
1. Lean the gun with the lock side down. Slap the stock a couple times. That will allow powder to enter the flame channel or bolster.
2. Clean the flame channel using a bristled pipe cleaner.
