I think they are awesome! I use them in my brown bess and charlesville. The only bad thing is I’m getting a lot more lead down range; no patch and ball and a barrel that gets hard to load that needs to be swabbed out. I was using my normal load of 80 FF. I think I’ve read 110 to 120 is the military load of which 10 to 15 is used to prime pan. I actually used them for first time yesterday and went through 20 rounds like it was nothing and just ordered more today! Fun stuff. For my application they are great.From actual experience, can anyone say if The Jefferson Arsenal's pre-constructed cartridge kits are any good?
In particular, their .58 caliber Minié cartridges spark my interest...
They made some fine powder as early as the sixteenth century, and lots of not so good. Military often used poorer powders.I think they are awesome! I use them in my brown bess and charlesville.
