What was the last word that didn't show up?
I'd guess CoolDill was going to say Unreliable instead of Dangerous.
But firearms are dangerous if improperly handled.
What was the last word that didn't show up?
I'll take this from the top.
1. A couple of pounds of black powder won't be a problem in the USA. Not sure what India's laws are.
2. Unless I miss my guess, you shoot Bullseye pistol. Which means that you will be expecting decent accuracy from the gun so you can deliver some serious performance.
3. My advice for powder is 3F. Swiss is best, Olde Eynsford is of equal quality. Ordinary Goex is good. Avoid the substitutes.
4. Try a charge of 15 grains, with Cream of Wheat on top as a filler. This is a good starting match load. .457 round ball.
5. If you're serious about shooting BP, I'd get in contact with the National Muzzle-Loading Rifle Association or the North-South Skirmish Association. If you're really serious, PM me...I'm with the U.S. International Muzzle-Loading Team. We're headed to Austria this August, and recruiting for the 2021 World Championship team that will be going to Pforzheim, Germany.
