I've used Triple 7, FFG. Problem is you can't find any powder here locally. Nothing at Walmart. Rural King doesn't stock any black Powder supplies, nothing at Cabela's. I've also tried a couple of Mom and Pop's, but no luck. I could order online, but have to pay the $30 hazmat fee, so pellets are cheaper right now since I already have them. But I was able to find a new brass powder flask and measure for about $20 on sale at muzzle-loaders.com. So now I can store and load 777fg in one, and Blackhorn 209 in the other. I label them with a fancy label maker. Haha! I'm really getting into black powder. I think I love it!
I mean you have to use what you've got access to, it's just sad that it's come to this!
for a nontradionalist, the plastic diner style squeeze bottles fer ketchup etc work great as powder flasks
Excellent idea! Definitely no risk of a spark with those! And they are 2 for a $1 at Dollar General!for a nontradionalist, the plastic diner style squeeze bottles fer ketchup etc work great as powder flasks
What I like best is that I use an empty 223, 308 or 45-70 case for a measure (30, 55, or 75gr 3F) and I can stick the tip into the case mouth and squeeze. When the powder hits the tip, it stops flowing. Quick and easy to get a full measure with no spilling, etc.
