    Shortages of round balls and caps

    As for the cap shortage that is no big shock there. Most production is geared towards production of manufactured ammo. With 1 billion rounds per day being made most primers is being dumped into that market to keep the bulk of the trade going. Primer manufacturing is not a fast process nor can...

    KIK vs. GOEX

    KIK received loads of help from Goex on manufacturing in the past, not sure how much they receive currently. Their manufacturing process is about the same. KIK does state they use buckthorn alder. Goex refuses to tell anything about the product other than 'made in the US' and citing 'legal...

    Indeed they DO take this into account. When you READ the pdf I linked to Pedersoli load you will notice that each one has a different minimum load. Each manufacture has a listing of loads as well. I have also seen several rifles with bulges in the barrels at various points and first wondered...

    Load suggestions for.45 cal Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock

    Here we can clearly see that the patent breech plug diameter is 0.6875" deep. We also know the diameter of the bore is .45 My powder measure is close to that diameter, 11/16" yields 35 grains of powder *REQUIRED* to fill the patent breech. Now my measure is .5" so this slightly OVER the volume...

    I am still looking for an image that would best explain it. I may have to draw one. It deals with patent breeches and volume of powder needed.

    Patent breech fears.

    Patents can be a pain in the ass sometimes as there are a few gotcha type cases to deal with and I would wager that *MOST* users is not fully aware of them either. To answer your question about between shots. This would likely solve your problems in nothing flat.

    So to clarify for us simpletons the only gripe you have is Skitt’s Law and nothing of a technical nature relating to the subject matter?

    double flint on the way

    I am confused. The question is who here has a double flint and if so what can you tell me about the one that you have. Photo's would also be super nice to see how it looks.

    I went yesterday to a new range, did many shots with Swiss 3F and Null B. Next trip will be Goex 3f and Null B. I was very curious if Goex had included Creosote into the mix since they have not in the past.

    Null B or FFFFg....

    Hmmm, Down here in the Georgia heat I have not seen that. I do know that powder, all brands types, can/will ignite when wet. I am not sure the trigger level either mind you but this would be a very good experiment to see.
