what sort of thickness leather do you use.
Bit confused. If you cannot prime the pan at the firing point then where can you?
Following an accident where a shooter lost a finger while priming (a matchlock as it happens) I think the MLAGB allow priming only from either a single dose phial or from one of those tiny priming flasks. I would not be happy priming from a larger flask, and anyway it will work better if using a finer powder than the main charge for priming
True freedom includes the freedom to make mistakes or do foolish things and bear the consequences.
