Hey there;
I recently picked up a TC New Englander that I have been rehabing and I'm getting ready to take to the range. My problem is, what size powder should I use? I have a pound of FFFG that a friend of mine gave me, and I was thinking of using that. I have always been under the impression that FG is for cannons and big things, FFG and FFFG are for handguns and rifles, and FFFFG is for the priming pan of a flintlock. Am I on the right track? Will the powder I have work for my "new" gun? I'm planning on shooting patched round balls (1 in 48 twist), with a starting load of 50 grains of powder.
Thanks,
D
