    Which blackpowder substitutes?

    Colorado Clyde””- I have good resources here for a variety of the substitutes. When I get low enough on BP I order it in enough quantity to make the cost reasonable. Mainly I want it for less cleaning between shots and keep the big orders of BP down.

    Which blackpowder substitutes?

    I shoot mostly blackpowder in my muzzleloaders but thinking I will save it for my flintlocks. Any advice on which substitute might be best for my percussion rifles?

    Did a walk thru the Ft Bridger Rendevous today. Billed as largest in the West and I believe it. Picked up a Ft Meigs bag axe. Also picked up a hand held vice that is constructed like a miniature version of the pole vices that the blacksmiths use. The rendevous goes thru Monday so may make it...
