Fantastic advice I've gotten here. I'm waiting on the fouling scraper and better ramrod from track of the wolf. Bedbugbilly, yes I was using 2f and you make a good point about the military priming with the same powder with the paper cartridges. Next time I go out next Sunday Ill try a charge or two. I've only used modern inline muzzleloaders and to be honest with ya didn't realize the art form that goes into this. But should I get things together I plan on hunting everything with this musket from rabbits to deer.
