That is a nice treat Tim. When you finally can slow down we can figure out some range time somewhere just for fun. I wil lbring the smokepoles out.

Muskets get a 75 grain charge of double f black powder. The rifle gets a 50-60 grain charge of triple f powder and the revolver gets a 30 grain charge of triple f.

It can last a while. But those totals also dont include the priming charge for the flintlocks. For the muskets I use double f. For teh rifle I will be using 4f powder when I get it in.
