    Elephant vs Goex

    I just bought Elephant from a local dealer in NorCal (Hollister, CA)..it is still made. I use it mainly in cannons, handgonnes, and in my matchlocks. It has always ignited good, but is a dirty powder, and as previous;ly stated, if you swab your bore, it is OK.

    16 century powder flask

    The spout is just a cartridge that has the base cut off, and another slightly larger one serves as a cap. There was a piece of bathtub chain soldered into the primer hole to act as a keeper, but it broke. I will drill the one on there now out and use a piece of string for a keeper. The...
