I recently met up with a buddy .He asked me what I had been up to .I told him that I had solved my powder shortage problem by finding an out of the way place that sold real black.My friend told me he had a couple of lbs. of goex that had been sitting in his gun safe for awhile.He gave it to me. Upon getting it I discovered it was 2cans of 1f and a can of2f.The reason for the thread is this;I've never shot 1f powder.Should I try shooting it like regular 2f?I have a 12 ga. barrel for my New Englander,should I use it only for that?Next question, has anyone ever tried a small charge of real blk [15 or 20 grains] before finishing with pyro.Pyrodex has shown to be unreliable in my sidelocks. I know that pyro. pellets have a small bit of blk on one end to help ignition.Any thoughts
