Great story......I like your gun too. My neighbor (the sherif) had some nearly grown pigs get out a couple of years ago.....his girlfriend (later wife), sons, my wife and I tried to corral them to get them back to the pen.......his girlfriend was so mad and exhausted that she gave my buddy hell....he told her that the reason the pigs are so obnoxious was so you didn't feel bad butchering them................. Andy......is that a 5.56 backed with 120 grains of FFG? .... ..an off question, do you use special priming powder in your flintlock pans? I only shoot Goex FFG......can't stand the smell of the substitutes. Will that work reliably in a Pan too?

No I prime from my horn with FF.
Keep a sharp flint , clean vent and if your lock is of good quality with good "geometry" then you should not need "special priming powder"
I would go as far to say that FFFF priming powder is a 20th century thing and not used in the 18th and 19th century....
As for substitute powders I have not found any to work well with flintlocks or priming...

My wife has promised a certain male in our herd that if he doesn't stop attacking the does, he will be eaten. So far he has managed to avoid that fate...

Nice write up!
