Probably 6 or 8 years ago I bought two cans of Reenactor Powder. Thought was to use in my Cowboy Action 12 gauge Shells. Well I have yet to do this.
I want to work up a 100 yard target load. I was thinking Colonial era powder would be about the same quality.
I have a 50 caliber flintlock. It’s 50 caliber mate pistol is a tack driver. I’m thinking 75 grains of Reenactor powder would be a good starting point. 2f black powder in de flash pan. (Been working well.) Using .490 balls and some paper thin pre-lubed patches from Track of the Wooluf.
What say you? I have some Pyrodex and 2F Holy Black Powder if I’m way off base here. Affordable powder being the issue.
Thanks,
