I hear the real deal black powder is best. But I think I'd have an easier time making my own than trying to buy some around here. I'd like to try a flintlock but I've heard that Pyrodex and flinters don't mix. Or, at the least, I'd need some legit BP in the priming pan. Alas, the only loose powder I can find around here is Pyrodex in FFg or FFFg. Opinions, please. Can the substitutes work in flintlocks with good ignition? Or is it just an exercise in frustration?
