I've only used GOEX Cannon, For the large cannon, FF for the smaller cannons and mortars and FFFF to make a cannon make a loud noise without a projectile. Today I received my first BP pistol. Flintlock .50! Advice from some of you is to load with 3F and 4F to fire. Well they only had Hodgdon Pyrodex equivalent to FFFG. HHhhmmmm... What's that mean? Yeah, burn rate and stuff, but there are so many. So I started looking around. There are all sorts of BP's by all sorts of manufactures. I've reloaded for years in the smokeless arenas. There it's pistol -v- rifle. Then calibre and grain of bullet dictates which powder for the ballistics your wanting to achieve, basically. But it makes sense. I don't see corresponding data for BP's. Please help me make sense of the BP world. Thanks
