Use only good English flints in the size reccomended for your lock.
I use lead instead or leather to hold my flints. If you have a piece of flint a little too short you can make it long enough by using thick leather to hold in in.
Every now and then you will find a piece of flint that seems to last forever. I have got over 150 shots out of one piece. Normaly it is from 50 to 80.
You can knap them or turn them over to make them last longer.
