What do I need to rev up a flintlock?
I've just bought a pair of Kentucky smoothbores in .45
Now the percussion job is straightforward enough I have Pyrodex for my pistols and caps etc
Apart from changing to Pyrodex R that should be pretty much as per my percussion revolver, however I also bought a similar flintlock.
So where can I get flints?
What do I use as priming powder can I use the same as the main charge or does it need to be finer?
Do I really need proper BP rather than pyrodex?
All help appreciated
