What if you mix it with say 3F?SleazyRider
It's not a good idea to mix BP with anything for repeatable results. Depending upon what you want to use it in just load down "some". If it's a handgun cartridge round or percussion revolver use a filler (grits or cream of wheat) to allow the bullet to provide a little bit of compression. The bigger the cartridge the more that variables enter in and BPCR shooters are more adept to advise.
And...I've tried it. I put 45 grains of 4F Swiss in a cylinder deepened by Clements as well as a Classicballistx which holds even more. I fired a couple of cylinders full. It was an impressive load but not as much as the same amount of Triple 7.
I did it to try it but don't bother with it any more. For power, Triple 7 still beats it and 4F is almost like dust. Pouring 40 to 45 grains of dust in half a dozen chambers tends to almost cause a cloud.
This is in a ROA...in anything else.......you're on your own.
You have to get a background check or something for that stuff i believe?There is even a finer powder available Swiss Null-B. That must be like talcum. I have no wish to try it. Handling that stuff must be a chore. I bet static electricity would equivalent to the powder coating process they paint chassis parts with now.
I'd say, look for someone with a flintlock gun. If you were local to me, I'd swap you 2 cans of BP substitute for one your one can of FFFFg. Real black powder of any kind is hard to find around here these days, let alone FFFFg. Pleanty of BP substitutes but they don't work well for primer charges in flinters.I won a lot at an auction yesterday and in the lot was a can of FFFFg powder, which is normally used in a flintlock. Are there any problems using this in a revolver (normally FFFg is used here)?
