I tried out my new Traditions Pennsylvania flintlock rifle the other day. We had fun, but functioning was far from reliable (it took probably 8 tries to get one stubborn load to fire properly). I'm sure much of my problem is that I'm using Pyrodex rifle powder for the main charge, and Pyrodex pistol powder for priming. I really want to get some FFFFG blackpowder for priming, and I'd like to use true blackpowder for the main charge as well, but I can't find anyone who sells it in my area. I understand that it can be ordered, but don't know of a good source, and I've heard that there are high shipping fees due to it being a hazardous material or something.
So, does anyone know of a source in Northern California? Or, of the best mailorder source?
Thanks
