I just bought my first flintlock and I'm itching to go shoot it..Problem is I'm having trouble getting my hands on some ffffg primer powder? Any suggestions on where to get it here in Eastern PA ABE area??? Thanks
I was at Dunklebergers today, along with a nice selection of used flintlocks, they have ffff in stock. My offer still stands to give you some though, a small pill bottle will last you until next year!
You can simply sift 3F down through cheese cloth or old pantyhose, or take 3F and put a bit in paper fold paper and simply crush with handle end of screwdriver, all of these create nice fine 4F and ignite quickly.
Thanks for the offer,, I called Dunklebergers this afternoon and made the trip up there and got a can of ffff powder.
Thanks for all the great tips. I'm guessing this can is going to last me a long long time. I'm going to hit the range tomorrow and maybe even get out with this flint and try to take a deer with it.
