Had a great range day and was packing up to leave. I stupidly decided to run a patch down the barrel and got it stuck good on the way back out. No problem - I tied my aluminum rod to my truck and proceeded to pull the threaded end off. Tried 4-5 times to shoot it out. No joy. Finally got it home...
I put together one of the Pedersoli percussion kits. It was easy and fun to build and very enjoyable to shoot. It's quite fast to reload compared to a rifle. Mine is a .54.
Had red beans and rice for lunch today. Once, I told a guy at work that RB&R was one of my favorites. He told me he grew up in south Louisiana and had them every day. Never wanted to see another one. Difference of perspective, I guess.
I have used it for years and really like it. Early on, I cleaned a pistol on my kitchen counter with Ballistol. I soon found out how much my wife hates the smell. Haven't repeated that one.
My own experience - I got surprisingly good results in my flinter with a combo charge. I used about 5 grains of BP ahead of the Pyrodex charge and 3-4 of BP to prime. Perfect ignition every time. At about 8-10 grains per shot, you can stretch your BP a long way. Cleanup was about the same as BP.
From my limited experience, I've had good results with Pyrodex RS in my flintlock. I used 5 grains of black powder as a kicker, ahead of the RS, and BP in the pan. Quick ignition and easy cleanup. You can stretch BP a long way only using 7-8 grains per shot. My $.02.
A few weeks ago I tried Pyro RS for the first time in my flintlock, with a BP kicker and in the pan. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. No misfires, easy cleanup. I can stretch my meager BP supply a long way.
I built one of Dixie's Pedersoli Harpers Ferry pistols. It's a level 1 build; basically minor wood shaping/finishing and metal polishing. Loads of fun to shoot. I am planning to take it to the range tomorrow and try out my homemade BP. Best of luck with whichever you choose.
I may try the RS in my revolvers as is. The reason I brought this up is I can find no BP at all, no Pyro P, but plenty of RS locally. Thanks for all the replies.
