TC Firstorm is your huckleberry but I'm not sure if they're still available.

No I want a traditional Flintlock....my question was just curiosity to find out if guys have tried shooting T7/Pyrodex out of their Flinter's.

I was looking an absolutely beautiful, custom made Flintlock that my buddy's Dad owns on Sun.....the sad thing is he's a collector not a shooter....chances are this gun will never fire a patch and ball thru it.

My hunt continues....

Ahhhh, you wishes fer a fancy gun does ya? LOL Me too but they're outside my budget at the moment. A TVM is on my wish list for sure. The main thing as I understand it, is that the sub's are harder to ignite. I have used T7 and Pyrodex in my caplocks (Lyman GPH / TC Renegade) and it has worked fine.

I'll let you know how I fair out with T7 in my flintlock. (Lyman GPR)

They are both considered "Traditional" in function. In looks, somewhat like a Hawken/Missouri rifle.

I shot a TRADITIONS flinter for about 5 years then gave it to a family member......tried all kinds of propellant.......setteled on 3F goex main charge and in the pan.......... I used only good quality ENGLISH FLINTS from PELOUSE TRADING CO. Idaho/ opened up the hole in the insert and coned the inside/ deeoened and polished the pan.......after which I NEVER,repeat,NEVER had another miss fire and ignition was very fast........ JIM SHOCKEY,who has a guiding service here on the island, sells his GOLD......I tried it without success in my smokepole. in a caplock its a different story.........but I have a LYMAN TRADE RIFLE, a SAFARI,arms HAWKINS and a T/C new Englander all 50 cal. AND I USE 3F in all 3. on occasion I have used 2 f ......but FFFG has been the way toi go for me....JMHO
