Those co2 gizmoes work great for cap lock and flint locks to boot ...After all there are those who dry ball and admit it and those that dry ball and say its never happened to them . My wife forgets the powder about once a month ..So she picked up the co2 thing for us ( her ) and it sure has made my life easyer . when she first started shooting a flintlock she was bad for pounding the ball down the tube ..many times I had to use my vent pick to get her rifle to go off she had packed the powder so tight the primmer powder would just flash and it wouldn`t fire ..or if it did fire it would have a bad delay ...I finally got her just seating the ball on top of the charge , and problem solved . Of course the more you shoot your flintlock the larger the vent hole becomes , that uasually solves the vent problem too.
