My thoughts as well^^^^^^^3F has smaller granules (duh) and ignites faster plus it shortens the burning time of the black powder. I find that it works well in all my guns from .54 down. I use F and 2F in my shotguns. If you have a very accurate load using 2F, drop the charge by 5 grains with 3F and it should be very close to your 2F charge.
If I could only get one type of black powder, it would be 3F.
Get a Kibler southern mountain kit and you can have a FINE flintlock rifle.Now if I could just find a nice flintlock rifle, like a Lymans Trade Rifle in .50 Cal, I would be happy. Darn you guys....
When your 76 you try not to take on any long drawn out projects.....Get a Kibler southern mountain kit and you can have a FINE flintlock rifle.
I hear ya. I’m only nine years behind.When your 76 you try not to take on any long drawn out projects.....
I will be happy with a Lyman or Traditions and thanks for the suggestion.
Thinking about getting a flintlock rifle in 50 Cal to match my pistol. What if I use 3F instead of 2F?
Looking to purchase either a Lyman or Traditions.
