This just arrived today. Black powder shooting just got a whole lot more interesting. This is the Pedersoli Brown Bess from DGW. So far I could not be more pleased with the quality of the fit and finish. Flints, powder, balls, and cleaning gear are on order and on the way.
I've shot cap and ball and BP cartidge for a long time, always used Pyrodex P and RS for that because it was convenient. This will be my first flinter and from everything I've read they seem to need to be fed with real BP. I called Grafs, placed an order for some Goex - got a few pounds of FF, plus a couple pounds of FFF and a pound of FFFF headed my way. I never used real BP before either, so this gonna be extra fun. Graf's seemed very easy to work with and their powder prices are excellent.
