Black Powder Single Shot

[Niederlander]

I'm starting work on being ready to shoot Black Powder Single Shot at the next Brigade Muster.  (1873 Trapdoor Springfield Carbine)  Twenty five pounds of Dupont black powder and a coffee can full of 405 grain hollow base bullets should get me started!

[Quick Fire]

Sounds like you're good to go

[Niederlander]

Yep.  Lucked into the powder.  Got it cheap, too.  Looking forward to giving it a try!

[Tascosa Joe]

The can is probably worth $50, not counting the powder.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Sweet!

Don't forget the right lube for those 405 grainers!

Just funnin' with ya',

[Niederlander]

And lots of it!  I've got a block of SPG, but I make my own that's very similar.

Hey Silver Creek,

I have messaged you a couple times and have not heard back from you. Wondering i you received the messages or not. When you have the time, contact me. Dewayne Liebrandt

Do you have J.S. Wolf's book?

[Niederlander]

I do, and I've been studying!

How does the Dupont powder compare to modern Schutzen or Swiss?

[Niederlander]

I'm told it's a lot like Old Eynesford, but I have no idea.  Going to find out how it works, though!

[matt45]

  Sure hope so- In my 1884, the Swiss shoots 2X- 3X better than the Schutzen.
