I ran into an older guy (older than me at least) last week who has loaded his muzzleloader with real black powder as a primer under Triple 7. He uses real black in the pan. I believe he was shooting a .50 caliber muzzleloader. I said to him that I'd heard of this but never tried it myself -- I've been using real BP 3f under the ball and in the pan -- all goes well. He indicated that this method was essentially that used on big naval guns on ships. ??
Anyone have success priming Triple 7 with real black powder in flintlock muzzleloaders.
